RESOLUTION SHOULD BE SOUGHT FOR IN TALKS
- On September 18 the PACE reporter on the missing Leo Platvoet and the secretary of the PACE Committee of Migration, Refugees and Population, Marc Neville visited the office of the NKR Society of the Missing Soldiers. The guests first watched the museum of the missing soldiers, got acquainted with the work of the organization and afterwards met with the relatives of the missing soldiers. In July, the representatives of the Council of Europe visited Baku, Yerevan and Tbilisi, and this time they are visiting Nagorno Karabakh and Abkhazia. The guests were interested in any information about the missing soldiers and their place, as well as cooperation between the society and their Azerbaijani counterparts. The chair of the society Vera Grigorian, as well as the relatives of the missing soldiers informed referring to the facts they have at hand that there are still Armenian prisoners in Baku prisons, but the Baku authorities deny this. The mothers asked the representatives of the CoE to report their voice to the international organizations to help find out the fate of 239 missing people. "The unpalatable truth is better for us than the reassuring lie," they said. The representatives of the CoE were also interested to know about the relations of this NGO and the NKR government, their assistance to the society. Vera Grigorian, the chair of the society said the families of the missing people are constantly in the focus of attention of the government. She also said they met with their Azerbaijani counterparts in Tbilisi and several cities in Russia but these meetings produced no results. The representatives of the CoE promised to report the problem to relevant organizations. "We cannot go and search for the missing. This is not our objective. We see the settlement of the problem in the talks of the parties," said Leo Platvoet.
