Azerbaijani presidential aide shares photos of bear cub died in mine blast in Lachin PHOTO

Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan - Head of the Foreign Policy Department of the Presidential Administration Hikmet Hajiyev shared on social networks photographs of a bear cub that died as a result of a mine explosion in Azerbaijan’s liberated Lachin region.

“Talking Photos! Remains of brown bear cub killed by landmine blast in liberated Lachin region of Azerbaijan. Labels of collected landmines from the area of blast indicate that they have been produced in Armenia in 2021. Armenia infested formerly occupied lands of Azerbaijan with millions of landmines that continue to endanger the lives of civilians and wild animals,” Caliber.Az quotes Hajiyev as saying on his X account.

In violation of the 1949 Geneva Convention, during the years of occupation and at the moment of withdrawal from Azerbaijani lands in late 2020 and even after the second Karabakh war (2020), Armenia deliberately and constantly planted mines on Azerbaijani territories, thereby being a significant threat to regional peace, security, and cooperation.

Civilians and military personnel are frequently maimed or killed due to mine explosions in Azerbaijan's liberated regions.
