Clearing the Path to Safety: Azerbaijan’s Landmine Clearance Efforts

In a commendable effort, a total of 152,619 hectares of land in previously occupied territories have been successfully cleared of mines and unexploded ordnance by various agencies in Azerbaijan. Led by the Azerbaijani Mine Action Agency (ANAMA), along with support from the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Emergency Situations, and national commercial entities, significant progress has been made since November 2020 through July 2024. Chairperson of the Public Association “Azerbaijan Campaign Against Mines,” Hafiz Safikhanov, highlighted these achievements during a recent press conference on the project “Strengthening international support to Azerbaijan in demining.”

Operations are strategically managed from the ANAMA Operations Center in Horadiz, with mobile bases stationed in key districts and settlements, including Aghdam, Jabrayil, Zangilan, Gubadli, Lachin, Khojavand, Hadrut, Shusha, and Khankendi.
