BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 24. The minefield maps
provided by Armenia represent low value, accounting for less than
25 percent of their usefulness, Chairman of the Board of the
Azerbaijan National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA) Vugar Suleymanov
said at a scientific and practical conference in Khankendi,
Trend reports.
"Upon processing the map data, it became evident that the
usefulness does not go over 25 percent. This is a very low figure.
The data only pertains to the previous line of contact," he
added.
To note, following the liberation of its lands, Azerbaijan began
operations in November 2020 to clean its lands of mines, booby
traps, and other weaponry left behind by illegal Armenian
forces.
A total of 88 anti-tank, 47 anti-personnel mines, and 615
unexploded ordnances were found during demining operations in
Tartar, Aghdam, Aghdara, Lachin, Fuzuli, Shusha, Khojaly,
Khankendi, Kalbajar, Khojavand, Jabrayil, Gubadli, and Zangilan
from June 3 through June 9.

the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and
the State Border Service of Azerbaijan.
