Azerbaijan took no adequate step in response to minefield maps - Pashinyan
Azerbaijan didn’t make a single adequate step in response to Armenia providing the maps of minefields, and continues to illegally hold Armenian prisoners of war and uses them as a political bargaining factor, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on July 6, ARMENPRESS reports.
He said that Azerbaijan is making groundless accusations against Armenia regarding laying mines.
“First of all, the International Court of Justice debunked the accusations targeting Armenia over laying mines in its February 22 ruling, and besides, as a sign of sincerity and determination in normalizing relations, Armenia gave Azerbaijan in the past years the maps of all minefields in the territories under Azerbaijani control, which is today being used in large-scale de-mining works. But in response Azerbaijan did not make a single adequate step, it still continues to hold Armenian prisoners of war and uses them as a factor for political bargaining,” Pashinyan said.
