Azerbaijan says Armenia does not clear mines
12 July 2013 - 1:50pm
Nazim Ismaylov, Director General of the Azerbaijan National Agency for
Mine Action (ANAMA), said that Armenia was not clearing its territory
of mines, 1news.az reports.
He reminded that the US State Department helped the Armenian Defense
Ministry form a center to remove mines in 2001. The Armenian center
got the same amount of financial support as ANAMA, but showed less
progress in mine-sweeping, the official noted.
Ismaylov emphasized that Armenia had fewer mines laid on its
territory. The main threat comes from mines of old Soviet training
ranges, on the border of Iran, Turkey and Azerbaijan that need
removal.
