BAKU: The Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs has urged the international community to address Armenia's ongoing use of landmines in conflict areas, which continues to cause Azerbaijani civilian casualties. According to Trend News Agency, the Ministry's statement on its X page highlighted a recent incident in which an Azerbaijani civilian was injured due to a landmine explosion in the Gazakh district. This incident adds to the growing concern over Armenia's alleged refusal to provide accurate maps of minefields, which Azerbaijan claims are essential for ensuring civilian safety and advancing peace efforts. The Ministry's post emphasized the severity of the issue, noting that since 2020, there have been 381 reported casualties from landmines. It criticized Armenia's actions, or lack thereof, as contradicting its stated commitment to the peace process and normalization of relations between the two nations. The Azerbaijani MFA reiterated its call for international intervention to prevent further harm to ci vilians and to foster a genuine peace process. The situation highlights the ongoing tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan, despite the cessation of active conflict. The international community's role in addressing these security challenges remains crucial as both nations navigate the complex path toward reconciliation and peace.
