Chairman of the Committee on Agrarian Policy Tahir Rzayev said that tension between countries creates serious problems in various sectors, including affecting the water sector. In his opinion, these processes did not bypass Azerbaijan.

He recalled that Armenia and Georgia have not yet joined international conventions in the field of environmental protection, while Azerbaijan is a party to 17 different international conventions in this area, including on the protection of transboundary watercourses.
