This was announced in a statement published by ANAMA following a meeting between Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors, Samir Poladov, and the delegation led by Head of NATO's Arms Control, Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Division, Eirini Lemos-Maniati.

Deputy Chairman of the ANAMA Board of Directors, Poladov, announced in the course of the meeting that 437 Azerbaijani citizens have been killed or injured as a result of mine incidents since November 2020. He emphasized that mines create serious obstacles to the return of former internally displaced persons to their homelands, slow down recovery and reconstruction work, and cause significant humanitarian, economic and environmental consequences.

The meeting is another indicator of the long-term cooperation between Azerbaijan and NATO in the field of humanitarian demining.
