Baku/30.08.23/Turan: August 30 is celebrated as the International Day of Missing Persons in Armed Conflicts, Natural Disasters, Acts of Violence and Migration.
According to a press release from the Baku office of the International Committee of the Red Cross, 3,800 people are still missing in Azerbaijan. Tens of thousands of their family members are experiencing pain because of the uncertainty of their fate. The ICRC spares no effort to clarify the fate of the missing in cooperation with government agencies.
Throughout years of operation, we have collected approximately 11,000 biological reference samples from the families of missing persons and handed them over to the State Commission on Prisoners of War, Hostages and Missing Persons of the Republic of Azerbaijan (the State Commission).
In addition, the Red Cross shared information about the alleged burials and provided technical recommendations and supplies for exhumations in three districts.
The ICRC also carried out projects on psychosocial support for family members of missing persons. Two weeks ago, the State Commission of Azerbaijan reported that as a result of examinations, the identities of 15 people were identified, whose remains were found in mass graves in the territories liberated from the Armenian occupation. The remains were handed over to relatives and buried by them. ----06в---
