(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 12. At the ongoing trial held at the Baku Military Court on June 12, the accused Levon Mnatsakanyan responded to questions from the state prosecutor regarding the planting of mines in Azerbaijani territories. Mnatsakanyan admitted to planting both anti-personnel and anti-tank mines in the formerly occupied areas, Trend reports.

He stated that the mines were initially manufactured in the Soviet Union and later procured from Russia, then supplied to the separatist regime through Armenia.“Recently, mines were also produced in the Republic of Armenia and supplied to us,” Mnatsakanyan added.

It is noteworthy that in earlier court sessions, Mnatsakanyan said the "army" of the so-called regime was considered part of the Armenian armed forces.
