In August 2022, Azerbaijan restored full control over the city of Lachins, villages Zabukh and SUS. In these territories, Mina Mammadov, deputy head of the Foreign Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan at a briefing, said in Armenia and delivered here in Armenia and delivered here on the Lachinsky Road.
According to him, for the first time, going to court on this subject was filed in September 2022, a petition – January 4 of this year.
“We want the court to decide on the presence of a threat of mining. Since this is a constant threat, we believe that the court should immediately make a decision. There were interesting moments during the court hearings. So, Armenia could not refute any of the facts, Especially regarding new mines. We even presented the name of the company – “Haykmek”.
This company is engaged in the production of mines based on a license issued by the Armenian government. I note that before that, Armenia stated to international organizations that it does not produce mines. However, the evidence presented by the Azerbaijani side completely refuted this, and during the hearings the opposite side actually recognized this fact. Our second question was related to how mines were delivered to the territory of Azerbaijan. Of course, along the Lachin road. In this regard, Armenia could not provide the court with any refutations. This means that in fact, Armenia violated the obligations arising from a tripartite statement, ”said Mamedov.
