“Up to 350 of the more than 2,500 mud volcanoes spread across the world are located in Azerbaijan. To that end, in accordance with the resolution adopted at the 8th meeting of the National Commissions for UNESCO of the TURKSOY Member States, the work is underway on the creation of geoparks in the territory of Azerbaijan and joining the Global Geoparks Network (GGN) of UNESCO. We believe that the validation of mud volcanoes as a geopark will boost the development of geotourism in the country as well as recognition of Azerbaijan as a country with the world's greatest concentration of mud volcanoes,” the minister added.
