(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 15. I am proud to say
that today I have a great honor to tell about the "Demiragac Park,"
which has become a symbol of friendship between the Czech and
Azerbaijani peoples, located in a beautiful corner of Azerbaijan
and considered the birthplace of ironwood in Lankaran district,
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Czech Republic
to the Republic of Azerbaijan Milan Sedláček told reporters,
Trend reports.
"In 2023, we planted 100 ironwood trees here for the first time
together with the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources. And
this year, with great enthusiasm within the framework of the "Year
of Solidarity for a Green World" and COP 29 to be held in
Azerbaijan, having carried out works on the expansion of "Demiragac
Park," we planted 101 more trees in April.
The love of people for nature in Azerbaijan, the large number of
people willing to plant trees, and their great enthusiasm to
participate in such events make me very happy. I believe that
holding tree planting events every year will contribute to the
further expansion of "Demiragac Park," the strengthening of
cooperation on environmental protection, and the further
strengthening of friendly relations between our nations," the
ambassador noted.
The diplomat mentioned that representatives of the Embassy, the
Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan, officials
of the Executive Power of Lankaran City, students, and residents of
the district directly participated in the laying of "Demiragac
Park".
"It is pleasing that in the iron tree park we jointly created,
the percentage of sprouting is 100 percent.
I am sure that years later, the iron tree park we created will
turn into a big forest and will be remembered as another sign of
friendship between our nations. I consider it a contribution to the
large-scale activities in the field of ecology and greening carried
out in Azerbaijan and consider it a great success," he
emphasized.
The Ambassador also noted that along with the establishment of
"Demiragac Park," to organize ecotourism activities in Azerbaijan
following more modern standards, starting in 2019, the Ministry of
Ecology and Natural Resources, within the framework of the
cooperation program with the Embassy, held an event on marking the
tourist trail following the "Czech model," and tourist routes were
marked with new signs.
Ambassador Milan Sedláček added that the cooperation between the
two countries on environmental protection will continue to be
successful, and the friendship between the two nations will be like
ironwood, long-lasting and durable.
