Your structure will have to clear the currently occupied Azerbaijani land of mines. Is ANAMA ready for this? This was the idea behind the creation of the agency.

At the same time, in creating and developing our mine-clearing capacity, we pursued two goals: first, to clear this land and, second, to create stable capacity that would be ready to conduct mine-clearing on a large scale when the Azerbaijani land is liberated. Naturally, we have plans A and B. more
