The area of the Vejnaly gold deposit located in Zangilan district was cleared of mines, and preparatory work for research and exploitation commenced, but unexploded ammunition brought by floodwaters poses a danger again, the Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources, Mukhtar Babayev, said at the public hearing held on November 4 at the parliament themed “Tackling the Threat of Landmines: The Impact of Explosives on the Ecosystem."
He added that the Azerbaijan National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA) is taking appropriate measures in those areas.
