The sappers of the fourth group carrying out Armenia’s humanitarian mission in Syria have demined an area of 17,471 square meters in May, during which homemade shells and anti-personnel mines were found, the Center for Humanitarian Demining and Expertise of Armenia reported.

A total of 170,209 square meters have been demined since the first day of the mission, and 142,000 square meters of which were handed over to the Syrian authorities.

Due to the coronavirus restrictions, the doctors from the fourth group provided medical assistance to 549 locals in May. Thus, from February 2019 until today, Armenia’s humanitarian mission to Syria has provided medical assistance to a total of 12,584 patients.

And on June 1, the specialists of the Armenian group carrying out a humanitarian mission in Syria handed the gifts that were collected during an event to the Armenian Retirement Home of Aleppo and the orphanage of the local Armenian community.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
