Baku, Azerbaijan, April 6. The Azerbaijani
Foreign Ministry has issued an appeal to the international
community following another mine explosion that seriously injured
four civilians, including children, Trend reports.
“As a result of another mine explosion that occurred today, four
Azerbaijani citizens, including small children, were seriously
injured. Since the beginning of the 2020 war, 392 people have been
killed or injured as a result of mine contamination left by
Armenia,” the ministry said in a statement.
The Foreign Ministry called on the international community to
recognize the urgency of mine action, to support Azerbaijan’s
ongoing demining efforts, and to hold Armenia accountable for what
it described as deliberate and large-scale mining.
“We call on the international community to recognize the urgency
of mine action, to support Azerbaijan’s efforts in this direction
and to hold Armenia accountable for its deliberate and large-scale
mine threat, which endangers the lives of civilians and hinders the
post-war reconstruction process,” the ministry emphasized.
