Mahir Aliyev, Regional Coordinator of the UN Environment Programme’s Europe Office and Coordinator of the Interim Secretariat of the Framework Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Caspian Sea (Tehran Convention), said on Tuesday at the international conference on the Caspian Sea that the United Nations would work with the government of Azerbaijan on a series of measures to prevent a decline in the water level of the Caspian Sea.
According to Aliyev, Azerbaijan has been working with the UN for dozens of years, and this cooperation is mutually beneficial.
“As you know, the UN supports activities in the field of climate change, environmental protection, changes in the level of water basins. There are plans to carry out relevant work with the Azerbaijani side in the Caspian Sea as part of these initiatives,” Aliyev stressed.
