Social network users posted videos about the discoloration of the Ilgina River. In this regard, environmental activists say that the issue is related to mining activities.
It should be noted that the color of the Ilgina River has changed before due to the release of mining waste. For many years, substandard activities of copper, gold and niflinsinet mines in Garadagh have resulted in the death of many animals.
Ahmad Baybordi, head of the East Azerbaijan Agricultural Research Center, said in an interview about Garadagh’s mining activities that the mines cause fatal damage to the region’s agriculture.
Andrew has seriously poisoned the water sources around the cultural mine.
It should be noted that Ilgina River is located in the Sungun copper mine. After joining the Sungun River, the Ilgina river flows into the Araz River.
