BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 9. The Germany-based
European Azerbaijan Center has appealed to international
organizations regarding the injuries of five people, including
children, as a result of mine explosions that occurred on April 6
and 7 in the liberated and mine-contaminated areas of Azerbaijan,
Trend reports.
The appeal emphasized that this tragic incident once again shows
that mines deliberately placed by Armenia in our territories
continue to be a source of danger in the region.
Moreover, it was noted that 392 people have been killed or
injured as a result of mine explosions since the Second Karabakh
War's end in November 2020.
It was pointed out that although demining activities in
Azerbaijan are continuing at a rapid pace, this process is
accompanied by serious difficulties. One of the biggest obstacles
is Armenia’s refusal to provide mine maps. During the nearly
30-year occupation, millions of mines have been systematically and
systematically buried in Azerbaijani territories, and accurate maps
of mined areas have either not been provided at all, or the maps
provided are incomplete and inaccurate, which both slows down the
demining process and seriously endangers people’s lives and
The European Azerbaijan Center called on the international
community to recognize the humanitarian disaster and large-scale
threat posed by mines, to provide political and technical support
to Azerbaijan’s demining efforts, and to ensure that Armenia bears
responsibility for failing to provide maps of mined areas in
violation of international law, thereby putting people’s lives at
"Landmines not only endanger human lives, but also hinder peace,
stability, and post-conflict reconstruction processes in the
region. We hope that the international community will not remain
indifferent to this call and will demonstrate more effective and
active support for eliminating the threat," the appeal said.
