Association for Human Rights of Azerbaijanis in Iran #ArcDH highlighted the violations by the Iranian government against minority nations and, in particular, the Azerbaijani population. He pointed out that Iran’s policies have led to detrimental consequences, including mass migration, the collapse of industries, environmental disasters, and frequent disruptions in water and electricity supply. The scarcity of drinking water in numerous villages has also fueled conflicts, violating the Azerbaijani people’s right to a sustainable environment and leading to widespread protests.
Arc Association Iran’s policies have ultimately resulted in the death of Lake Urmia, and now, alarming concerns are being raised about impending salt storms.

As a result, countless Azerbaijanis are already suffering from respiratory diseases, eye irritation, lung cancers, and skin cancers.
