Landmines planted by Armenian armed forces and illegal Armenian armed groups on Azerbaijani lands continue to pose a threat to people's lives, Sabina Aliyeva, the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Republic of Azerbaijan (Ombudsman) said in a commentary about a serviceman of the Azerbaijan Army hit by a mine, Report informs.

The ombudsman reminded that on September 10, Khayyam Eminov, a serviceman of the Azerbaijan Army, was injured by an anti-personnel mine planted by the intelligence-sabotage group of the illegal Armenian armed groups on the supply road of the Azerbaijani units in the Aghdam area: "I would like to note with regret that despite repeated requests, the Armenian side still refuses to hand over accurate maps of mined areas to our country."

According to her, the failure of the international community and influential international organizations to influence Armenia regarding mine terrorism causes them to continue to commit such provocations, resulting in numerous casualties or serious injuries: "As the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Republic of Azerbaijan, I strongly condemn these provocations of Armenia, and I call on the international community to put pressure on Armenia to prevent mine terrorism, which threatens the lives of our military personnel, as well as civilians, and to submit accurate mine maps to our country."
