The command of the Russian peacekeepers, temporarily
stationed in Azerbaijani territory, and the joint Turkish-Russian
monitoring center inspected the recently discovered minefield
planted by illegal Armenian armed formations in Saribaba peak
direction in Azerbaijan's Lachin district, Azernews reports.
At the invitation of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry,
Commander of the Russian peacekeeping forces Maj-Gen Andrey Volkov,
Head of the Turkish contingent of the Joint Turkish-Russian
Monitoring Center, Maj-Gen Fatih Akpinar, Head of the Russian
contingent of the Center, Rear Admiral Oleg Semenov visited the
area.
Reportedly, the military attaches of the diplomatic
corps accredited in Azerbaijan also traveled from Shusha to Lachin
to inspect the venue.
To recap, an area with 350 anti-personnel mines,
manufactured in Armenia in 2021, was detected in the Saribaba peak
direction, following landmine clearance activities in Azerbaijan's
liberated territories on November 21. Sappers of the Azerbaijani
army neutralized 350 PMN-E anti-personnel mines on November 21.
Armenia deliberately and constantly planted mines on Azerbaijani
territories, in violation of the 1949 Geneva Convention, thereby
being a major threat to regional peace, security, and
cooperation.
