Our homeland on fire - ex-minister of culture of Artsakh 

ArmInfo. The fires that started a few days ago in the Akna region have spread to the village of Talish in the northeast and to Jrakan and Hadrut in the southeast, practically along the entire eastern border of the Republic of  Artsakh. This was reported on his Facebook page by former Artsakh  Minister of Culture Sergey Shahverdyan.

"The occupational Azerbaijani administration, in fact, does not take  effective measures to extinguish the already raging and prevent the  emergence of new potential sources of fire, contributing to a  huge-scale environmental disaster in the controlled occupied  territories.

I believe that the government of Armenia, environmental organizations  and environmental activists should raise the issue of the  responsibility of the Republic of Azerbaijan for the environmental  damage caused to the Republic of Artsakh, which is under its  temporary control, and demand immediate effective measures to  extinguish the forest fires! It is our homeland that is burning!"  Shahverdyan wrote.
