The Armenian Foreign Ministry has blasted Azerbaijan's "ironic" response to Armenia's initiative to provide it with eight more maps of minefields in Nagorno-Karabakh. 

"As mentioned on many occasions, Armenia, including as a confidence building measure, handed over to Azerbaijan all minefield maps which were at its disposal, having received them from Nagorno-Karabakh officials," the ministry said in a post on X on Friday.

"Later, guided by humanitarian purposes, Armenia prepared new maps through inquires among former officials of Nagorno-Karabakh in order to transfer the maps to Azerbaijan.

“Unfortunately, this initiative was immediately met with a negative and ironic response from the Azerbaijani side, negating Armenia’s trust-building efforts, continuing to manipulate the topic and turning Armenia’s positive move into an occasion for escalating and negative rhetoric,” the statement read.
