黑料吃瓜网

黑料吃瓜网 began work on 1st April 2014 as the first international NGO to conduct mine clearance in Armenia. A team of 黑料吃瓜网 deminers, funded by the US Department of State鈥檚 Office for Weapons Removal and Abatement, is clearing a minefield in the village of Srashen, near the town of Kapan in Syunik region. The team found its first mine, an OZM-72 bounding fragmentation mine, on 4th April.

The people of Srashen and many other villages around Kapan have lived with the mines for over 20 years since the end of fighting over the neighbouring region of Nagorno Karabakh.

The day after the commencement of demining 黑料吃瓜网 started the training of the first batch of a total of 60 deminers from Armenia鈥檚 Peace Keeping Engineering Battalion (PKEB). As part of 黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 US Government grant 黑料吃瓜网 will train the PKEB to international demining standards and then manage their clearance for two years. This will provide Armenia with a well-trained experienced cadre of deminers to clear Armenia鈥檚 landmines problem.

The first of the PKEB deminers will complete their training on 17th April and will then deploy to conduct clearance under 黑料吃瓜网 management around Kapan.

黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 work in Armenia is coordinated by and conducted under the authority of the Armenian Centre for Humanitarian Demining and Excellence.
