The news about the deaths of Azerbaijani policemen and civilians
as a result of Armenian mine terrorism was also reflected in the
media in European countries. The pieces published on the websites
of Radio France Internationale (France), Quotidiano dei
contribuenti (Italy), hn.24, Teraz, TvNoviny, Dennikn (Slovakia),
etc., said that a car with employees of the Ministry of Internal
Affairs of Azerbaijan was blown up by a mine laid by a sabotage
group of illegal armed groups of Armenia in a tunnel under
construction in the village of Taghavard in Khojavand region. As a
result, two civilians and four employees of the ministry were

formations from Karabakh.

terrorism perpetrated by Armenia in Azerbaijani territories,

killed in the latest terrorist attack. The article notes that amid
the ongoing peace process, tensions between Azerbaijan and Armenia
are rising, while at the same time there has been an
intensification of illegal Armenian armed formations and
separatists in Azerbaijan's Karabakh region. "A significant part of
the territory of Karabakh, where two wars took place, was mined by
Armenians, and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said that the
mines delay the process of returning former IDPs to these lands
liberated from occupation in 2020," the Barrons said.
In order to ensure the provisions of the Trilateral
Statement, to stop large-scale provocations in the Karabakh
economic region, to disarm and withdraw formations of the Armenian
armed forces from the territories of Azerbaijan, to neutralize
their military infrastructure, to ensure the safety of the peaceful
population returning to the territories liberated from occupation,
civil servants involved in construction and reconstruction works,
and our military personnel, as well as to restore the
constitutional order of the Republic of Azerbaijan, anti-terrorist
measures have been launched in the region.
Only military targets belonging to illegal armed
formations of the separatist regime are put out of action with the
use of high-precision weapons available in the arsenal of the
Azerbaijani Army.
Civilians and infrastructure objects are not targets
during localized anti-terrorist activities carried out in
Azerbaijan's Karabakh region.
On September 19, 2023, at 04:30 (GMT+4), as a result
of a terrorist act, on a newly built tunnel road near the village
of Taghavard in Khojavand district, a KAMAZ truck carrying

groups [which haven't been withdrawn contrary to the trilateral
statement signed by Azerbaijani, Armenian, and Russian leaders
following the 2020 second Karabakh war] on the territory of
Azerbaijan, where Russian peacekeepers are temporarily stationed
[under the trilateral statement].
The truck was on its way to the site of the terrorist
attack that took place on the same day at the 58th kilometer of the
Ahmadbayli-Fuzuli-Shusha road passing through the Khojavand
district, which killed employees of the State Road Agency of
Azerbaijan.
