BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 19. Armenia continues the mine terror against Azerbaijan and should be punished for it, former military attaché of Türkiye in Azerbaijan, reserve General Yucel Karauz told Trend.
He noted that Armenia does not provide Azerbaijan with mine maps contrary to international law.
"In addition, Armenia continues to lay new mines on the territories of Azerbaijan. This is contrary to international law and is a crime. Despite the fact that this issue was raised at international meetings, Armenia does not provide Azerbaijan with maps of the mines that have been laid previously,” said Karauz.
Armenia continues to lay mines even in the territories controlled by Russian peacemakers. A lot of people became victims of mine terror after the end of the second Karabakh war. The West, which talks about peace and human rights, was silent. There was no pressure in the direction of transferring the maps of mines to Azerbaijan. Those who commit mine terror must be condemned and should be punished," said the reserve general.
