"Since 2020, nearly 400 Azerbaijani citizens have fallen victim to landmine explosions," Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan and Head of the Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the Presidential Administration wrote on X, APA reports.
"These mines were deliberately and extensively planted by Armenia during its occupation of Azerbaijani territories. In many cases, the mines were laid without any military necessity—solely to target civilians and deliberately delay the safe return of displaced populations to their ancestral lands. In this context, landmines function as weapons of mass destruction and pose a serious threat," added H. Hajiyev.
