On April 7, 2021, Azerbaijan’s National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA) held a virtual news conference among international experts in protection against minelaying, with Samir Poladov as the main speaker, according to the agency’s website http://anama.gov.az/news/225.

The participants examined the ways of shielding the world’s countries from mine planting and mine attacks, answering the journalists’ queries about the relevant international regulations and other cases related to long-range missile systems.

Replying to the question about Armenia’s Iskander, Samir Poladov pointed out that the global community had taken a great interest in the ANAMA report. As he put it, “On behalf of Ilham Aliyev, President of Azerbaijan and Supreme Commander of the country’s Armed Forces, the agency is in charge of mine and unexploded ordnance clearance. Since December 2020, ANAMA has been involved in demining in the city of Shusha. The crew has so far discovered and removed 686 unexploded bombs from the 234-thousand-square meter territory (23.4 hectares). At the same time, the agency’s specialists have examined 183 houses and courtyards, as well as 11 multi-storey buildings”.

Apart from this, Mr. Poladov drew the audience’s attention to a March 15 cleanup operation which saw the discovery of the remains of two exploded rockets in Shusha. Having checked the missile’s 9M723 identification number, the organization conducted an additional investigation and concluded that the debris belonged to an Iskander-M missile. In addition, a missile crater was found in the city of Shusha. As the expert said, “The media have already unveiled the exact location of both missiles. The mentioned rocket (NATO Reporting name: SS-26 Stone), which has a maximum range of 400 km, a 920-mm diameter and a 7.2 m-length, carries a warhead of up to 480 kg and has an initial launch weight of 3800 kg. With the demining process underway, we will keep you updated on the new developments. Thank you for your attention and questions”.

The next ANAMA conference is scheduled for May. The exact dates will be announced in advance within a week.   

For reference. Samir Poladov is Deputy Chairman of the Board of Azerbaijan’s National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA).
