According to Trend, Links EUROPE Director Dennis Sammut stated during the second International Humanitarian Conference on mine clearance in Baku on the theme
“Combating the mine threat – the path to sustainable development” that the international community ought to make more humanitarian efforts to solve the mine problem in Azerbaijan.
