2012 - This brochure informs about the impact mines had on the lives of Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots and advocates for the clearance of the remaining minefields for a mine free Cyprus. Coming at a time when demining operations in Cyprus are suspended, it describes the results achieved by both communities so far in terms of mines clearance.
Highlights
- 27,000 land mines removed by the Buffer Zone
- 81 minefields declared mine-free
- 1,571,206 square metres of land released and return to its original use
