These districts were recently liberated from occupation, and the demining work aims to make the land safe for reconstruction and the return of displaced people. ANAMA representatives inspected ongoing demining work in the villages of Hasanli and Guyujag, observing the methods and technologies used considering the local terrain.
During the demining operations, teams detected and removed 267,932 explosive devices. Vugar Suleymanov, Chairman of ANAMA, stressed the importance of coordinated efforts to eliminate mine threats and safely use the liberated territories. Vahid Hajiyev, Special Representative of the President in those districts, explained that demining is essential for rebuilding infrastructure, supporting economic projects, and ensuring the safe return of people who were displaced by the conflict.
To further improve safety, authorities installed fencing along 412 kilometers of land known to be heavily contaminated with mines.
