ICRC`s 3rd International Conference for Families of Missing Persons  from Armenia and Artsakh launched in Yerevan

ArmInfo. Yesterday, the ICRC's 3rd International Conference for Families of Missing Persons  was launched in Yerevan, bringing together 700 families from 44 contexts around the world, 22 of them from Armenia, the press service of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) reports.

The purpose of this two-day conference is to help families connect  beyond their usual community to be part of a global support network,  share experiences, and support each other.  "Such platforms help us  understand that we are not alone, that we have peers both in our  community and outside, in many other parts of the world. Thanks to  them, I have made friends with other families, and we try and support  each other. These events are also important because in our context  families from the 1990s and 2020s see that their feelings - grief,  pain, hope, disappointment - are the same and that time does not heal  if you do not have the answer," says Sirun Hayrapetyan, daughter of a  missing," the source notes.

The final number of those missing as a result of the latest  Azerbaijani aggression against Artsakh is still unknown. The figure  ranges from several hundreds.
