Armenian Foreign Ministry denies cooperation with Azerbaijan on water management
Armenia’s Foreign Ministry has denied claims of cooperation with Azerbaijan on transboundary water resources management.
In a social media post earlier in November, U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan Mark Libby said a group of hydrologists and engineers from Azerbaijan and Armenia "are working together—with our active support—on an integrated water management scheme for trans-boundary rivers".
In response to a Panorama.am query, the Foreign Ministry stated that the interactions were limited to NGOs.
“According to the information obtained by the Foreign Ministry, discussions on the matter were held between NGOs from the two countries,” it said.
Panorama had also submitted similar requests to the Armenian government and the Ministry of Environment.
