The number of landmine victims of Azerbaijan continues to grow, Hikmat Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan - Head of the Department of Foreign Policy Affairs of the Presidential Administration, said, according to Report.
"During 30 year long occupation, Armenia infested the lands of Azerbaijan with millions of landmines. Surveys of landmine incidents demonstrate that most of the explosions occur behind the former line of confrontation, especially in the areas which had no military significance. It is testimony to the fact of deliberate and indiscriminate usage of landmines with the logic 'weapons of mass destruction' to terrorize and kill civilians and deprive them from the right of return," he said on the social network X.
