The city of Khankandi has the highest concentration of mine traps among the liberated territories of Azerbaijan, according to Hafiz Safihanov, the head of the public association "Azerbaijan Campaign Against Mines," who spoke during a press conference dedicated to the results of a project aimed at strengthening international support for Azerbaijan's demining efforts.
