Dangerous landslide hits highway in Azerbaijan
Dangerous landslide has damaged Azerbaijan`s Baku-Shamakhy highway at 106th km, Aziz Garalov, chief of the Geological Planning Expedition of the National Geological Exploration Service of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources, told on Thursday.
According to him, the landslide is still active.

He noted that the area is an ancient landslide zone.

“From time to time landslides happen in that place. The area is prone to landslide. Recent rainfalls have caused the landslide. Further landslides will hit the area in the future due to rainfalls and traffic,” he said.

Garalov added that the Baku-Shamakhy highway landslide area is included in topographic maps of potentially dangerous landslides.
