The northern region of Azerbaijan, and particularly the village of Laza in the Gusar district, is distinguished by both its natural beauty and complex geodynamic processes. The relief, climate, and geological structure of this region make it a unique natural laboratory of the Caucasus.

Landslides, mudflows, and underground gas leaks that have occurred here in recent years have sparked serious scientific interest not only among the local population but also among scientists.

Mirnukh Ismayilov, head of the Landscape Science and Planning Department at the H.Aliyev Institute of Geography of the AR MSE, shared his thoughts on the incident with Crossmedia.az.
