ArmInfo.Baku responded inadequately to the message of the National Security Service of Armenia about its intention to transfer 8 more minefield maps. At first glance, it was expected that this message would be received positively by the Azerbaijani side. However, instead, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan voiced another round of threats against Armenia and a number of inadequate demands, far from reality.
"The current statement by the Armenian side indicates that the intention of this country does not contribute to the humanitarian process, and this step cannot be regarded as a tool for building trust. Azerbaijan expects Armenia to provide accurate maps of all mined territories," noted the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, who apparently consider holding Armenians in captivity for years, torturing them and extending their imprisonment under some far-fetched articles as a step to build trust.
Earlier, on January 25, the National Security Service of the Republic of Armenia reported that committed to the peace agenda with Azerbaijan and based on humanitarian considerations, the Republic of Armenia transferred 972 minefield maps with information about to Azerbaijan on June 12, July 3, October 19, November 1 and November 29, 2021 without preconditions.
It is noted that after several publications in the Azerbaijani mass media recently about the injuries of Azerbaijani citizens as a result of the explosion of mines, and in continuation of the agreement reached as a result of negotiations on December 7, 2023 between the office of the Prime Minister of Armenia and the administration of the President of Azerbaijan on the implementation of significant steps towards building trust between the two states, the National Security Service of the Republic of Armenia resumed survey work among former military personnel of Nagorno-Karabakh, as a result of which eight new documents containing information on minefields have been identified. And they will soon be transmitted to the Azerbaijani side without preconditions.
