Armenian occupying forces continue to commit arson in the Azerbaijani
region of Fuzuli, near front line and far from it, Nebi Mukhtarov,
head of Fuzuli region executive power told the APA.

Stating that fires have spread to large areas in the lands controlled
by Armenians, Mukhtarov said it is difficult to calculate the inflicted
damage and define affected areas.

"Local residents and fire brigades put out the fire as soon as it
catches the areas under our control. The damage caused by fire in
the areas under the control of Azerbaijani Army has been calculated
and presented to the government," Mukhtarov said.

He also said that new 2,100-house settlement will be constructed
for internally displaced persons in Fuzuli. Over 10,000 Fuzuli IDPs
settled in displaced-person camps in Imishli, Saatli and Sabirabad
will be transferred there.
