 Armenia commited environmental terror in Azerbaijan

As reported, by grossly violating the basic norms and principles of the international law, as well as the requirements of 1979 Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife  and Natural Habitats and causing extensive, long-term and serious damage to the environment of the Republic of Azerbaija, Armenian armed forces committed environmental terror against our country and deliberately destroyed forests with valuable and perennial trees, which are considered a natural resource of the Republic of Azerbaijan in our previously occupied territories, AzVision.az reports citing the Prosecutor's Office of Azerbaijan. 

According to the Prosecutor General's Office of Azerbaijan, based on the results of the investigations, solid suspicions arose that, following instructions of the military-political leadership of Armenia, its armed forces once again demonstrated their barbarism and illegally cut down 1,818 trees of various types in Lachin district, which has rare flora and fauna, thereby causing material damage to the country in the amount of 1,511,330 (one million five hundred and eleven thousand three hundred and thirty) manats.

On the fact, the General Prosecutor's Office initiated a criminal case under article 259.2.4 (illegal cutting of trees with causing large-scale damage) and other articles of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Investigation Department was instructed to conduct a preliminary investigation.
