BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 16. Azerbaijani Foreign
Ministry has released a statement calling on the international
community not to ignore the mine terror of Armenia, trend reports.
According to the statement, as a result of a recent mine
explosion in Azerbaijan's Aghdam district, two Azerbaijani
civilians have been killed.
Residents of the Aghdam district's Safarli village Israil
Hasanov (born 1999) and Amid Hasanov (born 1987) were killed on
March 16, as a result of a mine explosion in Yusifjanli village
liberated from Armenian occupation.
“We express our deep condolences to the families and friends of
the victims,” the statement said.
Thus, from the end of the 2020 second Karabakh war, 286 people
became victims of mines, 48 of whom died, the statement said.
The mine explosion in Aghdam has shown once again that the main
goal of Armenia, which hasn't provided Azerbaijan with accurate
maps of minefields, grossly violating the 6th term of
the trilateral statement of November 10, 2020 [signed by
Azerbaijani, Armenian and Russian leaders following the second
Karabakh war], continuing military activities, transporting and
placing mines on the territory of Azerbaijan, is to create
obstacles to the large-scale reconstruction work carried out in the
post-conflict period, the statement emphasized.
Besides, according to the statement, Armenia aims to create
difficulties for the civilian population in these territories, the
return of internally displaced persons and their peaceful residence
in their native lands.
These steps by Armenia continue to be the main obstacle to
peace, security and cooperation in the region, the statement
said.
“We call on the international community not to ignore Armenia's
gross violation of its international obligations, including its
policy of deliberate laying of mines, and to demand from this
country to fulfill its obligations in accordance with international
law,' said the ministry.
