“Azerbaijan will persistently demand the maps of landmines planted in the liberated territories from Armenia in 2026,” said Azerbaijan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeyhun Bayramov at a press conference summarizing the outcomes of 2025.
“Armenians claim that they do not have landmine maps and that all such maps have already been handed over. As a result, the situation with mines remains quite complicated. Landmines were planted in many areas during 2021–2023. In addition, hundreds of thousands of mines have been buried in Azerbaijani territories since 2020. The complete and safe removal of these mines does not appear possible in the short term and requires long-term, planned operations,” the foreign minister added.
