ANAMA, Azerbaijan's Mine Action Agency, has recently been provided with additional mine detection dogs from the Marshall Legacy Institute (MLI) ba.

Despite extensive efforts, demining operations faced many challenges due to Armenia’s refusal to hand over maps displaying the locations of the landmines. A minesweeper of local production, known as Revival-P1, has also joined the mine action. The war ended with a tripartite statement signed on November 10, 2020, by Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Russia, under which Armenia also returned the occupied Aghdam, Kalbajar, and Lachin districts to Azerbaijan. After completing relevant preparations and accreditation based on the International Mine Action Standards (IMAS), the newly procured mine detection dogs will be deployed in Azerbaijan’s liberated areas. ANAMA, Azerbaijan's Mine Action Agency, has recently been provided with additional mine detection dogs from the Marshall Legacy Institute (MLI) based in the US. Currently, ANAMA is using 25 dogs to assist the full-fledged mine action campaign.
