On October 22 Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan received a delegation headed by Gilles Carbonnier, the Vice-President of the International Committee of the Red Cross. This was reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia.

During the meeting, the importance of the ICRC’s activities as the only international organization in Artsakh in the context of providing assistance to the population affected by the Azerbaijani aggression was noted.

Ararat Mirzoyan noted that despite the evidence presented by the Armenian side, Azerbaijan hides the real number of POWs and places of their detention, which creates serious grounds to believe that there is a situation of enforced disappearances.

The ICRC delegation expressed readiness to continue assisting the Armenian authorities in overcoming the humanitarian problems that arose in the post-war situation.
