ANAMA: Armenians contaminated Karabakh and Eastern Zangazur with 480 tons of plastic mass

"Azerbaijan is among the countries most contaminated with mines in the world,” the Chairman of the Board of the Azerbaijan Mine Action Agency (ANAMA), Vugar Suleymanov, told a public hearing held on November 4 at the parliament themed "Tackling the Threat of Landmines: The Impact of Explosives on the Ecosystem." 

He said that these hidden seeds of death not only pose a direct threat to people's lives and health but also harm the ecosystem and seriously affect people's well-being and social development: "During the occupation, Karabakh and Eastern Zangazur were destroyed by Armenian military units and, according to estimates, were polluted with about 1.5 million mines and explosives. With a minimum calculation, this means 480 tons of plastic mass contaminated with harmful substances.”
