ARMENIA AND AZERBAIJAN EQUALLY POLLUTE ARAX
Today, Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan do not have universal standards for assessing the quality of water resources. They are necessary in order to speak a ‘common language’, for understanding what one means saying ‘clear water’ or ‘polluted water’," Rafael Hovhannisian, chairman of the Union of Armenian Ecologist stated yesterday. Mr. Hovhannisian also supervises the project of the Eurasia Foundation "Application of International Standards for Governing Water Resources of Kura and Arax". He informed that the field study that had simultaneously launched in Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan is over.
Mr. Hovhannisian also said that Armenia and Azerbaijan equally pollute Arax. Arax passes through densely populated areas and nothing is done to remove the sources of pollution. He suggested introducing standards of river pollution in both countries.
