Azerbaijan puts new demand to Armenia. This time to stop building  plant in Yeraskh

ArmInfo.Azerbaijan's demands towards Armenia are increasing day by day. As they say, appetite  comes with eating.

As it became known today from some Azerbaijani media, the government  of Azerbaijan has officially appealed to Armenia with a demand to  stop the construction of a large metallurgical plant in Yeraskh,  Ararat region of the Republic of Armenia. A corresponding letter was  sent by  Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan  Mukhtar Babayev to the Minister of Environment of Armenia.

In the letter, the Azerbaijani side assures that the work of  metallurgical plants is recognized as a type of activity "which can  cause a significant negative transboundary impact."

Further more, it turned out that Armenia was also obliged to inform  Azerbaijan about the construction of this plant in advance. Although  the basis for this assertion remains unclear.

The letter also says that " at the initial stage, Azerbaijan requires  Armenia to exchange information and discuss the negative  transboundary impact of the project and immediately stop the  construction of the plant by Armenia until the issues related to the  transboundary impact of the project are fully clarified and  adequately considered," the Azerbaijani side said.

A corresponding appeal was also sent to the Executive Secretary of  the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations, and later  it was mentioned in the message of the Cabinet of Ministers.  It  should be noted that the plant is being built in Yeraskh with  American investments. Azerbaijan has repeatedly shelled the plant  under construction. As a result of hostile actions, two Indian  citizens involved in its construction were injured.
