Doctors: The international community must condemn natural killing and wars of aggression

The President of our country, Masoud Bishikian, who has traveled to Armenia to participate in the 17th Conference of the Members of the Convention on Biological Diversity, emphasized in his remarks that the international community should pay more serious attention to the environmental effects of military conflicts in Iran and the region.

Ambassador Arjan - political group: Medzikian said: The aggressive wars of the United States and the Zionist regime and attacks on industrial and energy facilities have destroyed natural ecosystems and environmental infrastructure by causing fires, spreading pollutants and polluting water and soil. Since pollution knows no political borders, these damages have global dimensions and require international solutions; Just as the amount of destruction in oppressed Gaza is a clear example of "natural murder" whose soil cannot support life for years.

He also emphasized that the international community is expected to establish effective mechanisms to prevent the sacrifice of nature in wars; Because the Islamic Republic of Iran remains committed to the Convention on Biological Diversity and the global goals of environmental protection.

In this meeting, the president also reminded: the international community should accept that countries under sanctions or under military aggression should not pay the environmental costs of war and sanctions alone. The spread of water, soil and air pollution does not stop behind the borders; Therefore, the damage caused by war is also a global issue and requires international solutions. This is not only an internal issue or limited to the political borders of this country, nature does not know political borders.

The president said at the meeting of the member countries of the Convention on Biological Diversity: Considering the importance of preserving the country's natural, cultural and civilizational heritage, the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan document has been compiled and approved and the Environmental Protection Organization has been designated as the national coordinator. Protection of endangered species, rehabilitation of vulnerable populations, development of protected areas and monitoring of wildlife indicator species are among the basic priorities.

He reminded: War does not only target people and infrastructure, but by destroying forests, wetlands and water resources, soil pollution, habitat destruction, displacement of animal species and the entry of chemicals and heavy metals into natural cycles, it leaves lasting damages for years after the end of hostilities. Today, the international community has well understood that the destruction of the environment during armed conflicts is a consequence. It is not secondary, but directly threatens the security and well-being of future generations.

The president of our country also met and talked with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres upon his arrival at the summit.

In this meeting, the doctors and Nikol Pashinyan, the Prime Minister of Armenia, discussed the cooperation between the two countries and the relations between Iran and Armenia.

In this meeting, the president called for the formulation of a strategic and long-term plan for joint commercial and economic cooperation between Iran and Armenia, because the deepening of relations between the two countries will bring stability and security in the region.

Medicalian continued: America has created problems not only for us but for the whole world, if it wants to continue on this path, the situation will get worse for the whole world, so it is better to act with logic and dialogue instead of force.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan also said: We want stability and peace in the region, and we are expanding our relations with neighboring countries day by day, and we are trying to make these relations on the path of mutual development.

In the continuation of this trip, the President also met and talked with Irakli Kobakhidze, the Prime Minister of Georgia. In this meeting, cooperation between the two countries and relations between Iran and Georgia were discussed.
