Khazar Ibragim: "Only after the Azerbaijani lands, occupied by Armenians, are released, will it be possible to speak about construction of hydroelectric power stations with Iran"

The due statement was made by spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan Khazar Ibragim, commenting on the issue of the construction of an Iranian hydroelectric power station on the border with Azerbaijan, which is currently under Armenian occupation, Day.Az reports.

He noted that the discussions regarding the construction of a hydroelectric power station on the Iranian border had been held since the USSR period.

"Yet, after the USSR collapsed and a part of Azerbaijani lands were occupied by Armenians, the construction of this establishment became impossible. Naturally, Azerbaijan will undertake steps to improve the living conditions of its citizens, residing in these territories and may initiate the construction of this station after the occupied lands are released. Currently, Iran works on its territory and joint operation on the territory of Azerbaijan will be able only after release", he said.

Kh.Ibragim noted that Azerbaijan controls this issue and it will not agree to conduction of works in its occupied lands.
