The only other mined areas that contain, or are suspected to contain, anti-personnel mines under the jurisdiction of the Republic ofCyprus are located in the areas north of the buffer zone, which are occupied by Turkey. As reported within the request submitted byCyprus for an extension of the deadline to fulfil its obligations under Article 5.1, 21 minefields (one of them is situated within thebuffer zone, in the vicinity of the village Deryneia) laid by Turkey’s occupational forces are known not yet to be cleared of anti personnel mines. These are overwhelmingly situated adjacent to the buffer zone. Precise information on their size, on theircomposition (whether they include mines other than anti - personnel mines) and on how much land can be safely treated as arable
when these mines have been cleared is unknown. Furthermore, before and during the invasion of 1974, the National Guard laid 28minefields north of Nicosia towards the Pentadaktylos mountain range, which are today located in the Turkish - occupied areas. Thelatter minefields included 1006 anti - personnel mines. The Republic of Cyprus gave the technical details of these 28 minefields tothe UNFICYP in May 2015. Concerning these minefields, UNFICYP initially informed the Republic of Cyprus that only 3 required
further technical surveys, whilst according to the latest assessment of UNMAS, these minefields are now accepted as free fromExplosive Hazards.
The Government of Cyprus does not possess any further information regarding the progress in the clearance of mined areas under
the control of the Turkish occupational forces. Mine clearance in the occupied part of the Republic involves the legal responsibilityof Turkey as a State Party to the Ottawa Convention and to the CCW and its Protocols.
