“Unfortunately, the Armenian side has refused its obligations on the landmine threats against Azerbaijan continuing over the past 30 years,” said Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs as it commented on the allegations made by Ani Badalyan, Spokesperson of Armenian FM in response to Radio Liberty's question.
“The Court’s last hearings on the landmines issue once again showed that Armenia's reports to international organizations that Armenia does not produce or plant landmines are based on lies. At the same time, it is completely wrong to present the decision of the Court on holding on the decision on the merits in the landmine issue as a rejection of the issue by the Court. It is clear that this interim decision does not exempt Armenia from violations of obligations such as planting landmines and booby traps in the territories of Azerbaijan, the transportation of 2021 production landmines to the territories of Azerbaijan by abusing the Lachin road, and the failure to provide proper landmine maps,” the ministry noted.
