It would be dangerous to “fully trust” the accuracy of the minefield maps provided to Azerbaijan by Armenia, Baku’s special presidential representative Emin Huseynov said on Thursday.
Referring to the Karabakh minefield maps recently provided by Yerevan, Huseynov made the remarks in an interview with Azerbaijan’s Xalq Gazeti newspaper.
Following negotiations brokered by Russia, Armenia shared maps of booby-trapped Azerbaijani lands recently liberated from occupation.
Earlier, Armenia gave Azerbaijan maps of 92,000 mines laid in Fuzuli and Zangilan provinces, and 97,000 mines in Aghdam, in exchange for the release of 30 Armenian nationals held in Azerbaijan.
Baku and Yerevan were involved in a 44-day conflict on Karabakh – a region that lies within Azerbaijan but was under the occupation of Armenia – last year, which ended with a Russia-brokered cease-fire on Nov. 10, 2020.
During the faceoff, Azerbaijan liberated several cities and 300 settlements and villages that were occupied by Armenia for nearly three decades.
