Baku/23.11.21/Turan: The United States continues measures to support efforts to return displaced persons to their homes. These include steps to demine the territories, implement projects for the development of agriculture, etc. Since 1992, America has allocated 125 million dollars in support of internally displaced persons and this assistance will continue. This was stated at a briefing on November 22 by the US Ambassador to Azerbaijan Lee Litzenberger.
A number of American companies have extensive experience and special equipment and technology to speed up the demining process. Negotiations are currently underway with ANAMA to involve them in the demining process, the Ambassador noted.
