Newly created water sources in Karabakh and East Zangazur may in the future be used to supply other districts of Azerbaijan with water, Ilham Guliyev, Deputy Head of the Regional Water Melioration Service under the Azerbaijan State Water Resources Agency (ASWRA), told Report.

According to him, the reservoirs currently being built and planned in the region are primarily intended to meet the water demand of settlements in Karabakh and East Zangazur:
