The head of the ICRC delegation in Yerevan, Caroline Douilliez, recalled during her welcome speech that the delegation began its activity in Armenia after the collapse of the USSR, when the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict flared up.
"Our offices were simultaneously opened in Yerevan and Baku, when our employees had to work with the immediate victims of the conflict, the families of the deceased and the missing, refugees." Today the ICRC works with the residents of border villages, actively cooperates with the Armenian Red Cross Society and the Ministry of Emergency Measures, visits prisoners , visits prisoners and provides contact with relatives, as well as facilitates the return of prisoners to their homes, and the transfer of bodies of the victims to their homeland, "she noted. In this context, the head of the ICRC's Yerevan office stated that one of the most tragic moments today is the problem of missing people, as they have parents, children who are still waiting.
According to Caroline Douilliez, these people can not turn the page, forget, stop suffering, while those around them do not always understand the experiences of these people. "The experience of the ICRC shows that even such a response is better than uncertainty." The process of finding the victims and reburial also requires great humanism and courage. In this regard, I would like to express gratitude to the Armenian authorities and a public organization for cooperation, "she summed up.
