“By the order of General Ter-Grigoryants, we have mined about 500-600 hectares of territory in Kalbajar. My contingent and I have placed 17 trucks of mines near Lachin and Kalbajar, and you cannot do anything in those areas because of mines,” the Armenian colonel said in an interview with local television.
“Return us our prisoners of war, and I will provide you with the map of mines,” Gumashyan added.
