    ARTSAKH TERRITORY WILL BE CLEARED OF MINES (VIDEO)

    12:09 | October 30,2014 | Politics

    With the financing of U.S. Agency of International Development, the
    project of clearing mines left after Nagorno Karabakh war continues.

    Agency's Armenian Chairman Karen Hilliard informs in the movie
    "Karabakh: peaceful life near the ghosts of war" that clearing work
    has been carried out in 251 fields since 2000 with their support,
    due to which it became possible to launch agricultural work in 27000
    ha territory.

    "During the first years following the war, 35-40 people died annually
    because of mines' explosions, 345 death cases have been registered
    since 1995, 1/3 of whom are children. Now 5 cases are registered
    annually, which is also a large number for us. According to the
    estimations, at this moment only 5 percent of mined areas remain
    hazardous. These are mountainous or wooded areas, clearing of which
    demands huge efforts, but I think that within the frames of 5 million
    dollars' funding provided to our partner Halo Trust, all the territory
    will have been cleared of mines until 2016,"- announced Hilliard.
