EU has provided Armenia with a second demining machine

The European Union Ambassador to Armenia, Vassilis Maragos, and Eduard Petrosyan, Director of the Armenian Center for Humanitarian Demining and Expertise (ACHDE), today presented the second demining machine provided by the EU to the Center — the smaller MV-4 model. This was reported by the EU Delegation to Armenia.

“Detecting and neutralizing landmines is a time-consuming and dangerous task. Like the larger MV-10 machine delivered in July, the MV-4 is also remotely operated, allowing demining specialists to carry out operations in hazardous areas from a safe distance.

The EU is also supporting the training of Armenian specialists to operate the demining machines and partially covering the Center's operating costs.

This assistance will help improve the efficiency and safety of Armenian demining specialists, enabling them to clear contaminated areas more quickly and safely so that residents of border communities can return to normal life,” the statement said.
