To avoid civilian casualties, Azerbaijan demands mine maps from Armenia to clean up the Nagorno-Karabakh region, a request Armenia has turned down.
Landmines planted by Armenian forces have killed several dozen civilians in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, even though a year has passed since the cease-fire was established between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
To avoid civilian casualties, Azerbaijan now demands mine maps from Armenia to clean up the area, a request Armenia has turned down. Members of Azerbaijan National Agency for Mine Action are seen on duty in Karabakh that were liberated from Armenian forces, in Azerbaijan on October 15, 2021. Mine clearance activities are carried out by the Azerbaijan Mine Clearing Agency, ANAMA, while the Azerbaijani army fortress units and the special mine search and clearance teams of the Turkish army also contribute to the demining activities.
"We are lacking the mine maps and this fact makes our work difficult, but we will continue our duty until the lands are fully cleared," he added.
