/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Making progress in questions of the missing in
Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia is possible, Rapporteur of the PACE
Committee on Migration, Refugees and Population Leo Platvoet believes,
says a PACE release. After a visit to Nagorno Karabakh and Abkhazia,
Platvoet is more optimistic to the prospect of progress.
The release says that having visited Baku, Tbilisit and Yerevan
in June 2006, Leo Platvoet arrived at an opinion that the parties
interested want to engage in that issue not from the political,
but humanitarian point of view.
The PACE Rapporteur remarked that ICRC mechanisms were apt and the
parties agreed over the core issue – making the lists of the missing
comply and collecting data on persons, who died. Finally, Platvoet
said that respective committees should work more closely to attain
progress soon.
