(MENAFN- AzerNews) By Sabina Mammadli
Some 260 mines and unexploded ordnances have been defused in the
liberated territories from November 21 through November 26,
Azernews reports, citing the Azerbaijani National Agency for Mine
Action (ANAMA).
During the demining operations, 2 anti-personnel and 10
anti-tank mines, as well as 248 unexploded ordnances, were detected
and neutralized in Tartar, Aghdam, Khojavand, Fuzuli, Shusha,
Gubadli, Jabrayil, and Zangilan districts.
A total area of 321 ha was cleared of mines and
unexploded ordnance during the reporting period.
Armenia planted land mines in Azerbaijani territory, not only
during the 30-year-long occupation but also just days before
abandoning the Azerbaijani lands, as envisaged in the trilateral
declaration, to cause human casualties.
Civilians and military personnel are frequently maimed or killed
as a result of mine explosions in Azerbaijan's liberated
regions.
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.
