Yerevan /Mediamax/. Iranian ambassador to Azerbaijan Seyed Abbas Mousavi stated today about completion of construction of “Khodaafarin” and “Giz Galasi” hydroelectric facilities and launch of the process of installation of turbines.

Trend reports that speaking at a news conference dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations with Azerbaijan, the Iranian ambassador noted that there are many conflicts in the world over near-border rivers.
