A reception center for citizens continues to operate at the Humanitarian Response Center of the Russian Peacekeeping Contingent (RPC) in Stepanakert. It also operates a hotline to collect information for the search of missing servicemen, to provide humanitarian assistance, assistance in employment and other problematic topics.
“Today 10 citizens of Nagorno-Karabakh have applied. The main problematic issues remain the search for missing servicemen and the restoration of houses destroyed during the shelling. And two farmers asked to clear their garden plots from explosives,” said Dmitry Serov, a representative of the Humanitarian Response Centre.
In total, about 3,600 people turned to the reception centre for help. In particular, more than 800 requests were received by the phone hotline.
The officers on duty, who receive requests by phone or in person, must clarify the nature of the problem, find out from relatives information about the alleged area of the missing soldier, record their contact details. All requests are recorded, entered in the database and sent to the joint search groups.
In the future, the search for missing persons will be carried out by the RPC military personnel in cooperation with representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Azerbaijani and Armenian sides.
