President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has signed an order awarding a group of individuals with the medal "For Merits in the field of mine Clearance", Trend reports.

Most of the liberated lands of Azerbaijan were exposed to mines and unexploded ordnance laid by Armenia during the occupation.

Immediately after the end of the second Karabakh war, Azerbaijan has begun to clear these territories from mines and unexploded ordnance. To date, a lot of work has been done. Despite this, many mines and explosives still remain in the liberated areas.
