ArmInfo.The UN Economic Commission for Europe rejected the complaint of Azerbaijan from 2011 against Armenia. Head of the Office for International Organizations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, Vahram Kazhoyan, wrote about this on Facebook. "After eight years of "battles" as a result of the negotiations, we recorded a victory today on a very important issue for Armenia within the framework of the Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a transboundary context.
In 2011, Azerbaijan submitted a complaint against Armenia, which, however, on all the provisions was refuted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Nature Protection of the Republic of Armenia at several hearings over 8 years. Today, the Economic Commission for Europe formally made a decision based on the facts we have presented. The commission found that Armenia fully fulfills its obligations under the Convention, and the complaint of Azerbaijan is unfounded, "the diplomat explained.
