Series of events held across Europe highlighting Armenia's landmine threat

A photo exhibition was held in Milan, Italy, as part of the international Mine-Free World campaign organized in Europe by Azerbaijan's Gilavar Photo Club Public Union.

On October 20, family members of missing Azerbaijanis staged a protest in front of the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium, and held another rally at Schuman Square on October 21.
