BAKU, Azerbaijan, Feb. 25
By Humay Aghajanova – Trend:
Armenia has not transferred mine-field maps to Azerbaijan for a
long time, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov said at a
conference dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Khojaly
genocide, Trend reports.
The minister noted Armenia handed over the maps only a year
after the Second Karabakh War, in December 2021, under the pressure
of an international community and the threat of an international
tribunal.
According to him, since November 2020, as a result of mine
explosions, 37 people have been killed and over 200 people got
injured, he stated.
'Moreover, there is still no information on the fate of 3,890
Azerbaijanis who went missing during the First Karabakh War. After
the Second Karabakh War, Azerbaijan set an example for Armenia and
repatriated the remains of 1,711 Armenian servicemen found in the
liberated territories to Armenia. After establishing control over
the liberated lands, Azerbaijan has found several mass graves on
them. Mass graves have been discovered in Bashlybel village of
Kalbajar district, the vicinity of Shusha, and the Edilli village
of Khojavand,' Bayramov said.
