CHORRORD INKNISHKHANUTYUN : ARMENIA’S AUTHORITIES NOT MADE PROPOSAL TO SWISS
YEREVAN. – The Humanitarian Demining and ExpertiseCenter and the
Swiss Foundation for Mine Action (FSD) Armenia Office presented to
news reporters the results of the non-technical research on the affect
of landmines, Chorrord Inknishkhanutyun (CI) daily reports.
“CI attempted to find out from the [FSD] Armenia Office representative,
[Johannes] Odendaal, as to why [Armenia’s] Shirak Region is not
included in the list of the other regions that were studied in Armenia,
considering that two children had died from a mine explosion nearby
Vahramaberd village [in this region].
‘If the international organization enters a country that has a
problem in connection with non-exploded units, it usually cannot
take any responsibility upon itself. We have not had a proposal from
the [Armenian] authorities to work in the given area,'” Chorrord
Inknishkhanutyun quotes Odendaal as saying.
