Since 2020, about 400 Azerbaijani citizens have been victims of mine explosions.

Axar.az reports that Hikmat Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan - Head of the Foreign Policy Department of the Presidential Administration, wrote this on his X account.

"These mines were deliberately and widely placed by Armenia during the occupation of Azerbaijani territories. In many cases, mines were planted without military necessity, purely to target the civilian population and delay the safe return of displaced persons to their homelands. In this sense, mines act as weapons of mass destruction and are a source of danger," Hikmat Hajiyev noted.
