evidence: Clearance operations of mine impacted areas were initiated in 2014. Since 2014, an area of 270,119 m2 has been cleared, and an additional area of 363,997 m2 has been cleared through non-technical (NTS) and technical (TS) surveys in Syunik province. In Gegharkunik province, an area of 46,882 m2 has been cleared through NTS and TS. [...] The non-technical survey conducted in 2012-2013 addressed the issue of mine and EO contamination in Armenia, a result from the Armenian-Azerbaijani armed conflict dating back to 1998-1994. During the latest escalation of the armed conflict over Nagorno-Karabagh, the bordering territory of Armenia, particularly the provinces of Syunik and Gegharkunik, were bombed. Aerial and missile attacks targeted many civilian infrastructures causing new contamination of areas with cluster munitions. It should be noted that the latest armed conflict greatly changed the scale and the type of contamination. The post-conflict situation has urged a need for planning and conducting non-technical and technical surveys to identify the extent of EO contamination in the territory of the RoA.
