Azerbaijan may cooperate with Armenia in putting out fires in the
Karabakh conflict zone, Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz
Azimov has said.

Azerbaijan wants the fires to be extinguished and proposes an
ecological operation to this effect in the occupied territories,
Turan news agency quoted Azimov as saying on 23 August.

Azimov said that Azerbaijani and international experts may go the
affected zone if the Armenian side provides security guarantees. If
the Armenian side agrees to this, it will be very important for
confidence-building, the agency quoted him as saying.
