ArmInfo. Searching of the missing is a problem which should be taken to
heart so that to decide to finance it, Armenian coordinator of the IWG
on searching of the missing and refugees and release of the war
prisoners at the Karabakh conflict zone Karine Minasyan told ArmInfo
correspondent.

, – the coordinator said. She also added that ICRC is implementing
certain work in this direction. Though it seemsstrange, but the IWG
accumulated such a big experience in this sphere that it can do even
more than the ICRC. ‘The ICRC has got more finance and material
potential. Though our principles coincide, it is first of all
confidentiality, impartiality and neutrality, nevertheless we are more
flexible, mobile and we have more potential in this sense’. Difference
in the approaches of getting the
information may be also added to this. Relatives of the missing should
apply to the ICRC to get information. As for the IWG, it will start
searching only if a man which has got information allied to it.
