(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 12. Following the establishment of“Environmental Protection First” Coalition, a report was prepared and made public by the Republic of Armenia in more than 20 locations together with diplomatic representatives accredited in Azerbaijan and mass media based on satellite images of Armenian industrial enterprises extracting various non-ferrous and ferrous metals in the territories adjacent to the regions bordering Azerbaijan, Co-founder of“Environmental Protection first” Coalition Amin Mammadov said during his speech at a media briefing, Trend reports.

He pointed out that the Environmental Protection First Coalition has been at it for a year now.

“The Coalition is closely monitoring the environmental damage caused to the environment of the Caucasus by the mining enterprises operating in the territory of Armenia during the last year. The Coalition's member organizations have been actively working in this direction.

The coalition, founded in the summer of 2023, first began its activities by protesting Armenia's plans to build a metallurgical plant in Arazdeyan on the border with Nakhchivan. As a result of these activities, the construction of the plant, projected with funding from foreign investors, was suspended. The solidarity and protest of NGOs operating in Azerbaijan played their role,” he added.
