Azerbaijan, Baku, Sept. 28 / Trend , S.Jaliloglu/
Heavy rains in south-western Azerbaijan have caused flooding.
Heavy rains, which began last night in the Barda region, have caused serious damage, Trend regional correspondent reported. Growth in the water level of the Tartar River caused flooding. Some houses near the river, where IDPs lived, were destroyed. Further, railways and motor road bridges are in poor condition.
The Barda Region Emergency Situations Commission attracted a large number of techniques to the territory to remove the consequences of natural disasters, but it was impossible to take necessary measures.
Over the past 30 years, such increase was not observed in the Tartar River, said Yashar Zamanov, the head of the Barda Region Construction and Architecture Department. As Armenians in the occupied territories opened up barriers of the Sarsang reservoir, the situation became even more dangerous.
