President Aliyev: Over 300 citizens became victim of land mine terrorism

CHRONICLE  20 September 2023 - 20:52

Since the end of the Second Garabagh War in 2020, more than 300 Azerbaijani citizens have fallen victim to mine terrorism.

As reported by AZERTAC, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev highlighted this figure in his address to the nation on September 20.

The head of state further added, that “after the Second Garabagh War, mines were illegally brought from Armenia to the Garabagh region of Azerbaijan and planted in various places until the Lachin border checkpoint was established. Some time ago, the mines discovered by the Azerbaijan Armed Forces were shown to representatives of the Russian peacekeeping contingent and the Russia-Türkiye Monitoring Center, and the issue of taking serious measures was being demanded from them. These mines were produced in Armenia in 2021. So it once again demonstrates that after the Second Garabagh War, these mines were deliberately brought in to carry out terrorist acts against Azerbaijan”.
