The international Halo Trust organization is engaged in providing
military training and illegal mine clearance activities on occupied
Azerbaijani territory, an Azeri diplomat has said.

“Halo Trust, which is registered in the US and Great Britain, was set
up by retired officers and its members provide military training to
Garabagh Armenians,” the first secretary of the Azerbaijani embassy
to Belgium, Fuad Humbatov, said.

Humbatov said the organization has called Azerbaijan’s territorial
integrity into question through its statements and activities.

The diplomat said Halo Trust was earlier driven out of Russia due to
its illegal activities, pledging that its operation in Upper Garabagh
would be suspended as well.
