    ROUND-TABLE ON THE PROBLEMS OF FORMER PRISONERS OF WAR

    NKR MFA Web-site

    On November 13, in Stepanakert, the Karabakh non-governmental
    organization "Center of Civil Initiatives" (CCI) held a 'round-table'
    called "The Problem of the Adaptation, Social Rehabilitation and
    Reintegration of Former Prisonersof War and Hostages into the Society
    in the Context of the Karabakh Conflict". Leaders of the NKR
    non-governmental organizations, representatives of the Parliament and
    Government, a priest, journalists, psychologists, lawyers,
    sociologists, and former prisoners of war took part in the
    'round-table'.

    CCI Director Albert Voskanian introduced the programs on the
    rehabilitation of former prisoners of war and hostages implemented in
    Nagorno Karabakh. In particular, he noted that under the aegis of the
    International Working Group on the Search of Missing People, Liberated
    Prisoners of War and Hostages (IWG), and "The Center of Civil
    Initiatives", a group of former prisoners of war, hostages and their
    family members studied computer, got legal consultationsof qualified
    lawyers, had talks with priests and ICRC representatives,
    etc. According to Albert Voskanian, in the frameworks of the mentioned
    programs, about 60 people got juridical and psychological aid in
    Karabakh.

    In the course of the discussion, factors hampering the full
    rehabilitation and reintegration of former prisoners of war and
    hostages into the society were noted, issues of rendering actual
    assistance to psychologically vulnerable citizens, as well as the
    problem's legal aspects were discussed. The importance of the
    cooperation between the governmental and non-governmental
    organizations in implementing adaptation programs was emphasized.
