(MENAFN- azernews)
rena murshud read more a resident of south azerbaijan, being on the iranian-armenian
border, filmed the moment that armenians are deliberately polluting
the aras river by dumping sewage into it, azernews reports.
“as a result of this, fish are dying in the aras river, the sown
areas of azerbaijanis are being destroyed,” said resident of south
azerbaijan.
according to the author of the footage, residents have
repeatedly appealed to government agencies, but no action has been
taken.
recall that iranian media recognized the metsamor nuclear power
plant as the cause of the pollution of the aras river.
a few days ago an article published in the iranian newspaper
"payame ma" refers to the contamination of the araz river with
radioactive substances and heavy metals.
the article says that in no way can it be denied that the aras
river is polluted with radioactive substances and heavy metals,
which has led to an increase in cancer among the population.
according to the publication, the source of pollution is the
metsamor nuclear power plant of armenia.
also, we recall that aras river, suffering from pollution,
originates in the arpachay region of turkiye, passes through the
border of turkiye, nakhchivan, julfa and armenia, and after
crossing the border of iran enters azerbaijan, then enters the kura
river. this river flows into the caspian sea, having passed a route
of more than 10 thousand kilometers. conflicts arise from sewage
that is discharged at the border points with armenia, and when it
reaches the reservoir of the khudafarin dam, it pollutes the
drinking water supply network and agricultural land of mughan
cities, towns and villages, such as horadiz and kordasht.
