Environmental experts have previously warned of the onset of salt storms and their dangerous consequences for millions of people in South Azerbaijan and neighboring regions, as a large part of Lake Urmia dries up and its laku bed turns into a salt marsh.

According to experts, if this trend continues, the salt dust will pose a serious threat to the health, agriculture, and social life of the population in the region, and the possibility of forced displacement of residents will increase. They emphasize that in order to prevent a disaster, it is necessary to provide the lake with the minimum amount of water needed and immediately implement restoration programs.
