    THE ISSUE OF PEOPLE MISSING AS A RESULT OF THE KARABAKH CONFLICT
    DISCUSSED DURING THE MEETING OF NKR PRESIDENT WITH THE COORDINATOR OF
    PROGRAMS OF RCIC IN THE EAST EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

    STEPANAKERT, February 28. /ARKA/. The issue of people missing as a
    result of the Karabakh conflict was discussed during the meeting of
    NKR President Arkadi Ghukasyan with the Coordinator of programs of
    the Red Cross International Committee (RCIC) in the East European
    countries Isabel Barras in Stepanakert.
    As ARKA was told in the main information service adjunct to NKR
    President, in the course of the meeting Barras told that the goal of
    her visit to NKR was to discuss the memorandum of RCIC on people
    missing as a result of military actions with NKR authorities.
    According to her, adoption of the memorandum by all parties in the
    conflict will enable to take efficient measures for searching missing
    people. She also noted that because of the conflict being unsettled,
    the mechanisms for interaction between the parties in the conflict
    haven't been launched at the level of the corresponding state
    commissions yet. This fact, according to her, negatively affects the
    solution of such important humanitarian problems. In this regard,
    Barras expressed the readiness of RCIC to render substantial support
    to the parties in the conflict to establish cooperation for searching
    missing people.
    In his turn Ghukasyan expressed his firm belief that the visit of
    Barras will positively influence on strengthening the further
    cooperation between RCIC and NKR authorities. He approved the
    memorandum of RCIC, noting that the Karabakh side was open for
    cooperation in that direction. He emphasized that it's necessary to
    solve humanitarian related issues in an operative way by joint
    efforts of all parties in conflict. At that, he especially put
    emphasis on inadmissibility of politization of the issue of missing
    people, since such an attitude towards fates of people doesn't
    contribute to the creation of the atmosphere of trust between the
    parties in conflict.
    Barras also met the Deputy Minister of NKR Foreign Affairs Masis
    Maylyan, NKR Minister of Defense Seiran Hovhannisyan and NKR Chairman
    of State Committee on Prisoners of War and Missing People Victor
    Kocharyan. A.H. ~V0--
