YEREVAN. - The delegation of the International Committee of the Red
Cross (ICRC) is implementing a number or programs in the villages of
Tavush Region bordering with Azerbaijan, Sarah Epprecht, Head of the
ICRC Delegation in Armenia, toldArmenian News-NEWS.am.
She said the most vulnerable villages were selected as they are
located near the border and villagers have less access to
infrastructure and land.
`In 2013 we implemented projects on supplying drinking and irrigation
water, distributed wheat seeds, fruit tree saplings,' she said.
Other activities that are carried out both on the Armenian and
Azerbaijani side concern the incidents involving or directed against
the civilian population.
`In the event of an incident, we visit the area, collect information
about the incident as far as it is possible, and then turn to the
responsible authorities,' Epprecht said.
Then, ICRC experts present information on their view and
recommendations in terms of the violation of the International
Humanitarian Law in connection with this incident.
