"Past". A serious problem threatening national security. What maps are Azerbaijanis faking?

"Past daily writes: "The Azerbaijanis continue to increase the volume of the information war against Armenia's mining industry. In particular, in an interview given to one of the anti-Armenian propaganda platforms, Mugabil Bayramov, the president of the Public Association of Cartographers of Azerbaijan, stated that, attention, Azerbaijani specialists have started to develop the map of Armenia's mining industry.

Moreover, according to him, 40 percent of the map has already been developed, and the works are planned to be completed in four months. In other words, with the help of this map, it will be possible to know exactly where the mineral resources are located in Armenia. Moreover, as Bayramov noted, the map will cover the entire territory of Armenia, and not only the mining areas of Armenia on the border with Azerbaijan. Leaving aside the fact that this Azerbaijani and the economist El Shad Mammadov who joined him used the opportunity to talk again about the allegedly negative impact of the Armenian mining industry on the environment, let's note that all this is really becoming a national security issue, which has not been mentioned once. we warned.

When at one time both the media and experts warned that the fight against mining by some Armenian NGOs, on the one hand, and the permission of dubious foreign NGOs to conduct research in Armenia, on the other hand, were pouring water into Azerbaijan's mill, the same NGO some of them were very "angry".

The fact remains that Azerbaijanis actively use the information of the mentioned structures. The goal of the latter is understandable: they want to weaken the backbone of Armenia, including by attacking the mining industry, which has a tangible presence in the economy, especially the Zangezur copper-molybdenum combine, which has been leading the list of major taxpayers in Armenia for years. It is unclear what the purpose of such organizations in Armenia is. As for the Azerbaijanis, we agree with Mammadov on one issue. He notes that "today, unfortunately, we see that many international structures apply double standards, including in the field of environmental protection."

Yes, the double standards are obvious, because being an oil-producing country, one of the biggest environmental damagers is Azerbaijan itself, in addition to that country's war crimes, which the same "international structures" often turn a blind eye to.
