ANAMA: International donors finance only 5% of demining activities

“We thank the government of Azerbaijan for funding humanitarian demining activities.

According to him, the liberated territories are still not accessible to everyone: “The reason for this is explosives. Mines have been placed in unexpected and unimaginable places in the territories. Roads, railways, and settlement areas built at the time have been mined.”
