Such measures by Armenia include, inter alia, conducting illegal archaeological excavations in historical places in the occupied territories and distorting their results, perpetrating barbarian acts of destruction of the Azerbaijani historical monuments of national and world importance, including mosques and other sacred shrines, presenting non-Armenian churches as their own, removing any traces of Azerbaijani cultural and historical roots, changing toponyms, falsifying inscriptions on the monuments and constructing other fake narratives.

Other challenges include dwindling arable lands, unsustainable production and consumption patterns, changing lifestyles, the increasingly degraded environment and the rising uncertainty due to on-going socio-political transformations and unrests. (...) This is to be achieved by strengthening the national and regional knowledge base, capacity development and greater regional cooperation. 4 Strategy To achieve its objective, the project will strive to accomplish the following four strategic expected accomplishments (components) over a period extending to December 2018: Enhancing the capacity for intra- regional coordinated policy development on food and water security Strengthening the capacity to assess the impacts of changing water availability on agricultural production Enhancing the capacity for efficient food production Enhancing the assessment capacity of the status of food security 5Promoting Food and Water Security through Cooperation and Capacity Development in the Arab Region The four project components will be implemented in partnership, cooperation and coordination with member countries, the following organizations, specialized agencies and research institutes: • The League of Arab States and its Ministerial Councils • The Arab Center for the Studies of Arid zones and Dry lands • FAO Regional Office for Near East and North Africa • International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas • Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit • American University of Beirut • Arabian Gulf University • King Saud University Project's activities and outcomes Component I: Assessing the impacts of changing water availability on agricultural production The emergency Arab food security programme anticipates increasing agricultural production partly through horizontal expansion, where additional water requirements are to be satisfied from savings 6 expected from increasing irrigation water efficiency projects.
