Azerbaijan's Gilavar Photo Club Public Union has continued its international campaign in Brno, the Czech Republic's second-largest city, calling for a "mine-free world" to be declared the 18th UN Sustainable Development Goal.
According to information provided to Report by the Agency for State Support of NGOs, an exhibition on Armenia's mine warfare against Azerbaijan has been opened in Brno in partnership with Land of Fire, a diaspora organization representing Azerbaijanis in the Czech Republic.
The exhibition features documentary photographs depicting the life stories of Azerbaijanis affected by landmines and the severe consequences of mine explosions.
Visitors were informed that extensive mine contamination of Azerbaijani territories during the occupation and the failure to provide accurate mine maps remain among the major obstacles to the safe return of Azerbaijanis to their former homes.
The exhibition organizers said Armenia should demonstrate humanitarian responsibility and provide accurate mine maps as a practical expression of its commitment to peace and a means of strengthening mutual trust.
The Brno exhibition also highlighted the close connection between the landmine issue and the issue of missing persons, noting that civilians are the primary victims in both cases.
According to the information presented at the exhibition, 32 mass graves have so far been discovered in the territories liberated from occupation. Examinations of human remains, it said, have confirmed that the Azerbaijanis whose remains were found had been subjected to torture before being killed.
The Gilavar Photo Club is the 2026 winner of the "Initiatives on the Problem of Mines and Unexploded Ordnance" grant competition jointly announced by Azerbaijan's NGO Agency and the Karabakh Revival Fund in partnership with the Azerbaijan National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA).
