Series of actions held across European cities against Armenia's landmine warfare

Another exhibition was held in Milan, Italy, as part of the "World Without Mines" international campaign carried out in Europe by Azerbaijan's "Gilavar Photo Club" Public Union.

According to information provided to Operativ Media by the Agency for State Support to Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), visitors were informed that although the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan has ended, the threat posed to civilians by mines planted during the occupation persists, undermining lasting peace. Armenia must fulfill its obligations to Azerbaijan and hand over accurate minefield maps.

The event was met with great interest.

As part of the campaign, a series of photo exhibitions were held this year on Oct. 5 in Geneva, Switzerland; Oct. 7 in Brno, Czech Republic; Oct. 9 in Ljubljana, Slovenia; Oct. 11 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina; Oct. 13 in Zagreb, Croatia; Oct. 15 in Salzburg, Austria; and Oct. 17 in Rome, Italy.

The "Gilavar Photo Club" Public Union is the winner for 2026 of the grant competition titled "Initiatives on the Problem of Mines and Unexploded Ordnance," jointly announced by Azerbaijan's NGO Agency and the Karabakh Revival Foundation in partnership with ANAMA.

Organized by the "Karabakh Missing Families" Public Union, families of missing Azerbaijanis have also launched protest actions against Armenia in Europe.

A group of families of missing Azerbaijanis held rallies in front of the European Parliament on Oct. 20 and at Schuman Square on Oct. 21 in Brussels, the capital of the Kingdom of Belgium. It was stated that 4,010 Azerbaijanis went missing during Armenia's occupation of Azerbaijani territories, including 71 children, 288 women, and 319 elderly people. Behind every number lies a human life and unanswered questions. It was revealed that landmines were planted in settlements in the liberated territories, in cemeteries, and even around mass graves where the remains of several missing persons were discovered. Clarifying the fate of the missing is of particular importance at a time when the peace agenda is advancing.
