"River Arax is contaminated in Armenia as much as in Azerbaijan,"
Rafael Hovhannisyan, head of Nature Protection Union, told a scientific
meeting today at the National Academy of Sciences.
Azerbaijan has officially blamed Armenia for contaminating the river
on purpose. Hovhannisyan assures that both countries have to take
the blame for the river contamination. He says it is not polluted on
purpose. Simply, the river runs in densely populated areas and the
sewage goes into the river.
Hovhannisyan suggests elaborating a standard for river contamination
and investing that both in Armenia and Azerbaijan. /Panorama.am/
