In order to restore the liberated territories, create infrastructure and provide a safe living environment, work is ongoing in the direction of expanding the operations carried out by the Azerbaijan National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA), increasing the material and technical base and capacity, ANAMA told APA.
According to the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Marshall Legacy Institute (MLI) and ANAMA, 6 specially trained Malinois breed dogs (MAI) were handed over to the Agency.
The support of mine detection dogs, which is considered one of the effective methods in humanitarian demining activities, is used in technical research and demining operations.
Specially trained mine detection dogs will be involved in humanitarian demining operations in the liberated territories after undergoing adaptation training with their handlers and accreditation according to International Demining Standards (IMAS).
