(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 21 . The
international community shouldn't ignore the mine problem in
Azerbaijan, an employee of the Turkish Foundation for Human Rights
and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief (IHH) Mehmet Altintas told
trend on November
21.
Altintas noted the rapid progress of restoration and
construction work in Azerbaijan's Karabakh.
'At the end of March last year, we took part in a program
organized by the Azerbaijan National Agency for Mine Action
(ANAMA). Aghdam, which we saw then, and present-day Aghdam are
significantly different,' he said.
Speaking about cooperation with ANAMA, the foundation's
representative noted that mines are a very serious problem, and
demining of territories requires a lot of money.
Besides, according to him, within the framework of cooperation
with ANAMA, the foundation provides veterans and civilians with
artificial limbs. Türkiye manufactures prostheses worth from 3,000
to 10,000 euros according to world standards.
'To date, twenty Azerbaijanis have been provided with these
prostheses. We started this cooperation to support our Azerbaijani
brothers. In the coming period, we also want to take part in the
restoration and development of Karabakh,' Altintas added.
On April 1, 2022, ANAMA and IHH signed a memorandum of
understanding.
