“We expect the activities of international organizations in all conflict-affected territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan, including those where the Russian peacekeeping contingent is temporarily deployed, to be carried out in full respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan within its internationally recognized borders and to be agreed and coordinated through with the Government of Azerbaijan.”

“In cooperation with international partners, Azerbaijan will first of all conduct damage assessment and proper planning of rehabilitation and reconstruction works in the conflict-affected territories. Rehabilitation activities will, among other things, include setting up “smart” residential areas, restoration of the agricultural sector and food security, restoration of the damaged water infrastructure and polluted and depleted water resources, ensuring proper technical maintenance of reservoirs, the revival of tourism and the creation of employment opportunities for the returning population. In eliminating the severe consequences of the conflict for the economic and social infrastructure, Azerbaijan counts on the support of the international community, including the United Nations and its relevant agencies.”

“In blatant violation of international humanitarian law, with a view to inflicting as much damage as possible, as well as creating additional obstacles for the return of civilians, Armenia also deliberately planted mines on a massive scale during its forced withdrawal from the Azerbaijani territories and has been refusing to release information regarding the minefields. That has already resulted in major casualties among the Azerbaijani military and civilians, negatively affects the realization of the inalienable right of the hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijani internally displaced persons to return to their homes in safety and S/2021/250 S/2021/250 dignity, and seriously impedes the realization of the wide-ranging rehabilitation and reconstruction plans launched by the Government of Azerbaijan.”

“The Government has already initiated practical steps to remove the harsh consequences of the military occupation of territories with a view to enabling the safe and dignified return of all displaced populations to their places of origin and restoring the peaceful co-existence of all its citizens affected by the conflict within the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Unfortunately, that process is challenged by the massive contamination of the recently liberated Azerbaijani territories with mines and other explosive devices deployed by Armenia.”

“Following the signing of the trilateral statement by the leaders of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Russian Federation and the Republic of Armenia on 10 November 2020, which announced an end to all military activities, Azerbaijan has embarked on a large-scale plan for the rehabilitation, reconstruction and reintegration of all its conflict-affected territories, including those inhabited by its citizens of Armenian origin, where the Russian peacekeeping contingent is temporarily deployed.”

“The exploitation of the Sarsang water reservoir by Armenia as a tool of environmental terror led to the deliberate deprivation of Azerbaijani civilians of much-needed water resources and the serious environmental degradation of lands, including soil erosion, affecting biodiversity and productivity in residential areas along the former occupation line. As a result of the counter-offensive operation launched by Azerbaijan in response to Armenia’s recent act of aggression starting from 27 September 2020, occupying forces of the Republic of Armenia were forced to withdraw. In total, 10,000 square kilometres of Azerbaijani lands were de- occupied, allowing the return of more than 700,000 internally displaced persons to their homes.”

“For almost 30 years, Azerbaijan suffered from the occupation of one-fifth of its territories by neighbouring Armenia, which inflicted a devastating impact on the economy and the environment. The illegal activities carried out by Armenia in those territories included the illegal exploitation of natural, agricultural and water resources. The consequences of such illegal activities can be clearly evidenced in the destroyed forests, burned and degraded soil and polluted water resources. Along with the occupied territories, those illegal activities affected adjacent regions of Azerbaijan.”

“I would like to start by thanking the United States presidency of the Security Council for dedicating this high-level open debate to such a topical issue. The gloomy statistics of recent years show an increase in the number of people suffering from acute hunger driven by, among other things, conflict and climate change. With the continuing spread of the coronavirus disease pandemic, the situation has been further aggravated. Notwithstanding the importance of innovations in the food and agriculture system, a sustainable solution to this problem requires the elimination of the root causes. Unfortunately, conflict-driven threats and risks are not alien to Azerbaijan.”
