NKR has no official date about missing persons. During the event
organized recently in connection with the International Day of missing
persons the representatives of the RA Defense Ministry and the NGOs
which are engaged in the issue mentioned that according to the data
they possess there are about 300 missing soldiers who are currently
in Azerbaijan.

Commenting on the issue at the request of the “A1+” correspondent
in Stepanakert, the Commander of the NKR Defense Army Seyran Ohanyan
said, “We do not have such data officially. I have been head of the
“Union of missing persons of Artsakh” and carried out work in that
direction. It’s a pity that we do not have relations with Azerbaijan
on the state level and cannot reach any results in this sphere”.

Proceeding from the situation, Seyran Ohanyan applied to the NKR
President Arkadi Ghoukasyan and asked him to resign him from the post
of the head of the “Union of missing persons of Artsakh” and to charge
the NKR National Security Service with it.
