Umayra Tagiyeva has been working in the field of hydrometeorology since 1990. She now heads the National Hydrometeorological Service of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan, and is "responsible for the weather" throughout the country. Vestnik Kavkaza talked with Umayra Tagiyeva about the climate and ecology of the Azerbaijani regions recently liberated from the occupation.
- During the almost 30-year occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh and adjacent regions, Azerbaijani forecasters constantly gave weather forecasts in these territories. How did you collect forecast data?
- We considered it our duty that every day it sounded on the air. Yes, our citizens were not there, but these are our lands. We were doing our duty. Now we feel joy that the districts have been liberated, and now the forecasts will be more accurate. Previously, we had no supporting material. In Soviet times, ten hydrometeorological stations functioned on the territory of Karabakh, which were later destroyed. Also on the Karabakh rivers until 1990, there were about 17 meteorological posts. Moreover, some observations at meteorological stations covered a period of more than 100 years. This is very valuable information.
