YEREVAN. - The number of missing Armenian freedom fighters during the
Karabakh War reaches 1,000, there are data about 94 of them possibly
being taken captives, and efforts are underway to have them returned.
The member of the working group of Armenia's Commission on Prisoners
of War, Hostages and Missing Persons, Rima Arakelyan, told the
aforementioned to reporters. She added, however, that the similar
commission which functions in Azerbaijan displays no will towards
collaborating with the Armenian side.
"There are no precise data on these 94 [people]. We are still unable to
find common ground with Azerbaijan in any way," Arakelyan specifically
noted.
In her words, the International Committee of Red Cross therefore
remains the only mediator for the return of these captives.
"The Red Cross has pledged to help; we hope that it helps. But they
are not bringing [the pledges] to complete fruition; they are doing
nothing," Rima Arakelyan concluded.
