The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources is preparing to take
legal action against the sale of Istisu mineral waters in Azerbaijan’s
Armenian-occupied Kalbajar District under the name of Jermuk, Minister
Huseyn Bagirov said Friday.

Bagirov said work involving experts has been carried out. The
ministry’s legal department has outlined a series of activities. The
minister declined to reveal the essence of the measures to be taken
to prevent the counter party from retaliating.

He only noted that third-country companies working in the occupied
territories, including those from the US, the UK, etc., would be
taken to court.
