We strongly condemn what was shown in the images showing the burning of Lachin and Khojaly forests by Armenians in recent days, and we consider these actions as a crime against nature and environmental terrorism.

Axar.az reports that these views were expressed by the Deputy Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources, Firdovsi Aliyev.

"Unfortunately, we are witnessing the continuation of environmental terrorism of Armenia against Azerbaijan. Armenians who have illegally settled in the territories of Azerbaijan continue to carry out an act of ecological terrorism not only against our people, but also against our nature and natural resources, and humanity as a whole. During the occupation period. The fact that the Armenians, who were not satisfied with burning Jabrayil, Zangilan, Gubadli, Kalbajar, and Shusha forests, now deliberately harmed the environment by burning our forest areas in the territory of Khojaly and Lachin, showing that these areas do not belong to them, is a direct confirmation of the hostile attitude towards nature. This incident will be investigated in more detail and the existing facts will be assessed according to international law," he said.
