The Board of Directors of the Eurasian Regional Center of Islamic Cooperation Youth Forum (ICYF-ERC) adopted a statement expressing support for the environmental action held in the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, on the Shusha-Khankendi road.
The statement notes:
- Unfortunately, the occupied territories of Azerbaijan for nearly 30 years and part of Karabakh region temporally out of control of Azerbaijan are remained outside of supervision and environmental monitoring. The severe consequences of this for the environment of the region was witnessed by many of us, together with a group of foreign bloggers visiting Azerbaijan.
- In regard to artificial obstacles to the efforts of Azerbaijani ecologists on the areas temporarily out of control of the Republic of Azerbaijan, we call to facilitate conditions for environmental monitoring to be held by the ecologists and environmental volunteers to monitor mines that damage the environment.
- In order to ensure the objectivity of the monitoring process, we are ready to organize the participation of a team of young ecologists from the Eurasian region in support of environmental volunteers of Azerbaijan.
