Before the occupation, there were 34 underground mineral deposits in the Kalbajar region alone. There are 143 tons of gold reserves in the proven deposits in this region. According to Baku TV, Ali Aliyev, head of the National Geological Service of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources, said that the gold produced in Kalbajar was sold to foreign countries.
Kalbajar is also one of the richest regions in terms of water resources. There are several world-famous mineral water basins in the area, which are also of medical importance. However, Armenian armed forces seriously damaged these water bodies during the occupation. Existing reserves in the liberated areas and in the Kalbajar region will be re-examined. Damage to all groundwater and surface water will be calculated. A road map has already been prepared in this regard.
