Geghard Foundation exposes anti-Armenian landmine propaganda of  Azerbaijan

ArmInfo.The Geghard Foundation exposes anti-Armenian landmine propaganda of Azerbaijan.  According to the Foundation's message received by ArmInfo, a photo exhibition dedicated to landmine victims was held in Prague, Czech Republic, on October 12 and13. It is noted that the exhibition  was organized by the Gilavar Foto Club NGO with the financial assistance of the Agency for State Support to NGOs of Azerbaijan and the Azerbaijani "Land of Fire" organization, which operates in the Czech Republic.

 "A two-day exhibition titled "Feet Pressing the Button" was organized at the Old Town Square and Republic Square in Prague. Project manager Rashad Mehdiyev stated that " thousands of people were informed in detail about the ongoing threat of landmine terrorism in Azerbaijan during the two-day exhibition." The issue of landmines is one of the tools of the Azerbaijani propaganda and information campaign against Armenia and Armenians, a tool that is consistently used at the state level, becoming a key topic raised by Azerbaijani officials in international platforms and bilateral meetings. 

However, these discussions do not aim to solve any genuine humanitarian concerns. On the contrary, Azerbaijan uses such events to hide its criminal actions under the "humanitarian" mask, trying to present the landmine issue to ignorant foreigners as a significant problem to make baseless accusations against Armenia," as noted by the Foundation. 

The Geghard Foundation emphasized that in this context Baku is positioning itself as a victim of the conflict, thereby shifting the international community's attention from the crimes committed against the Armenians of Artsakh. "The Geghard Foundation condemns such actions by Azerbaijan and urges international partners to recognize Baku's systematic policy of aggression, of which the exploitation of the landmine issue is one of the key components."
