The Republic of Armenia expressing its commitment to the peace agenda with Azerbaijan and based on humanitarian considerations, on June 12, July 3, October 19, November 1 and November 29, 2021, without preconditions, transmitted 972 records of minefields on the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan to the representatives of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

Following this unilateral humanitarian step, the Republic of Azerbaijan launched an information campaign accusing the Republic of Armenia of providing inaccurate and incomplete records and using the humanitarian step to incite hatred.

Representatives of the Republic of Armenia at the public and working levels have repeatedly stated that the RA simply does not have better quality maps at its disposal. And the transferred maps were received through NK military personnel.

Recently, after several publications by the Azerbaijani media about injuries received by citizens of the Azerbaijan Republic from a mine explosion, and in continuation of the agreement reached as a result of negotiations between the office of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia and the administration of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan on December 7, 2023, namely, to take tangible steps towards building trust between the two states, the RA National Security Service resumed survey work among former NK military personnel, as a result of which 8 new records appeared.

In the coming days, these records will be transmitted to the Azerbaijani side through working channels. The copies of these documents will be provided to international partners.
