ArmInfo. The Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) will join the November 10 general prayer initiated by Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II for the Armenian prisoners of war still held by Azerbaijan since 2020 (after the 44-day Artsakh war) and the political leaders of Artsakh illegally imprisoned a year earlier.
The special prayer will take place on the eve of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 29), which is taking place in Baku this year. , the Union said in a statement. In particular, the AGBU is concerned that world leaders will gather in a country that is accused of violating UN war crimes conventions, including violence against prisoners of war, ethnic cleansing and other crimes against innocent civilians. The AGBU calls on its members and supporters to unite in prayer, raise awareness and pay tribute to all prisoners and missing persons.
