On May 25, the Armenian Humanitarian Mission in Syria ceremonially handed over 51000 square meters of de-mined territory to the authorities of the Aleppo Governorate.
More than 200 munitions and sub-munitions were discovered and disposed of during the clearing operation, the Armenian Center for Humanitarian De-Mining and Expertise said.
