AGBU to join prayer initiated by Catholicos of All Armenians

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.
