Leyla Aliyeva spoke at the "Green Energy Projects" session

On March 3, the "Green energy projects" session was held within the framework of the 12th meeting of the Southern Gas Corridor Consultative Council of Ministers and the 4th meeting of the Green Energy Consultative Council of Ministers at the Baku Congress Center.

Leyla Aliyeva spoke at the event and touched on the problem of the Caspian Sea, saying that it is an issue that causes more concern every year. "I must say that this problem does not only concern us and other countries neighboring the Caspian Sea. The Caspian Sea is actually a mirror of the wider global ecosystem. Therefore, if the Caspian Sea is in trouble, it means that the world ecosystem is also in trouble. Of course, this is a big concern. But I am only in favor of positive thinking, so I am sure that we are together, we will do everything we can to raise the level of the Caspian Sea again and its Aral Sea and We will not allow it to disappear like Lake Urmia," he added.
