Total area of forest fund of the region made up 124 hectares until occupation, of which 108 hectares were covered with forests," Deputy Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Vugar Karimov told journalists, APA reports.
Deputy Minister noted that according to satellite descriptions, forest area of 57 hectares has been determined to be destroyed during occupation: "There were 11 Oriental planes in the district, which had a status of natural monument, once and all of these trees were destroyed during occupation.
