    Azat Artsakh, Nagorno Karabakh Republic [NKR]
    30 Aug 2006

    On the eve of the new academic year, the International Committee
    of the Red Cross distributed aid, 60 schoolbags and stationery,
    to the children of the missing soldiers in Karabakh. The ceremony
    took place at the office of the Union of Relatives of the Missing
    Liberation Soldiers of NKR, the representatives of the NKR office
    of the ICRC Edgar Sargissian and Inga Avanessian were present. The
    chair of the organization Vera Grigorian said the Red Cross provides
    humanitarian aid to the union two or three times a year, which is
    distributed to poor families. Besides, every year on the eve of the
    academic year the Red Cross gives a surprise to the young children of
    the missing soldiers. In the beginning the amount of aid was bigger,
    90 schoolbags, but over the past two years it was reduced, and the aid
    is distributed to 60 children from the capital and the regions. The
    head of the union says they implemented another project with the NKR
    Ministry of Social Security. 10 families of the missing soldiers got
    11 thousand drams each, and 20 families were given food aid.
