Brno:An exhibition on the impact of Armenia's mine warfare against Azerbaijan has opened in Brno, the Czech Republic, organized by the 'Gilavar Photo Club' Public Union of Azerbaijan. This event is part of an international campaign advocating for a 'mine-free world' to be recognized as the 18th Sustainable Development Goal of the United Nations.

According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, the exhibition was organized in collaboration with the 'Land of Fire' Azerbaijani diaspora organization in the Czech Republic. It features documentary photographs that portray the life stories of Azerbaijanis affected by mine explosions and the extensive contamination of Azerbaijani territories with mines during the occupation by Armenia.

Visitors learned that Armenia's failure to provide accurate mine maps remains a significant obstacle to the safe return of displaced Azerbaijanis. The exhibition calls for Armenia to exhibit humanitarian responsibility by providing accurate mine maps, thereby fostering peace and mutual trust.

The exhibition also highlighted the connection between the issues of mines and missing persons, emphasizing that civilians are the primary victims. To date, 32 mass graves have been discovered in the liberated territories, with forensic examinations revealing that the Azerbaijanis buried there had been subjected to torture.

The 'Gilavar' Photo Club, which won a grant competition in 2026 for initiatives addressing mines and unexploded ordnance, organized this exhibition with support from the Agency for State Support of Non-Governmental Organizations of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Garabagh Revival Fund, in partnership with ANAMA.
