Brno:An exhibition highlighting Azerbaijan's mine problem, organized by Azerbaijan's Gilavar Photo Club Public Union, opened in Brno, Czech Republic, as part of an international campaign to push for a 'mine-free world' as the UN's 18th Sustainable Development Goal.

According to Azeri-Press news agency, the exhibition is held in partnership with the 'Land of Fire' diaspora organization of Azerbaijanis in the Czech Republic. It focuses on Armenia's mine warfare against Azerbaijan, showcasing documentary photographs that depict the life stories of Azerbaijanis affected by the mines and the severe consequences of mine explosions.

Visitors to the exhibition are informed about the extensive mine contamination in Azerbaijani territories due to Armenia's actions during the occupation. The lack of accurate mine maps remains a significant barrier to the safe return of Azerbaijanis to their homes. The exhibition emphasizes that Armenia should take humanitarian responsibility by providing accurate mine maps to promote peace and mutual trust.

The issue of missing persons is also highlighted, with civilians being the main victims of both the mine problem and this issue. To date, 32 mass graves have been discovered in the liberated territories, and examinations of human remains have shown that the killed Azerbaijanis were subjected to torture.

The Gilavar Photo Club was awarded a grant in 2026 for its initiatives on the problem of mines and unexploded ordnance, a competition jointly announced by Azerbaijan's NGO Agency and the Karabakh Revival Fund in partnership with ANAMA.
