STEPANAKERT. Nov 23 (Interfax) - Head of the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry's international department Vladimir Solovyov has given a list of people who went missing during the latest armed conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh to Pascal Hundt, a high representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), as well as to representatives of Azerbaijan.
The meeting with Hundt was held in Stepanakert on Friday. The list was compiled at the request of the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry. The list mostly comprises young people, Solovyov said. Hundt assured him that he would help find out the fate of the missing people.
Azerbaijan has received the same list.
"I've just handed over the lists of those missing, people about whom nothing is known. I've passed the same lists, using our partner channels, I mean our interaction with the Azerbaijani Emergency Situations Ministry, on to the Azerbaijani side. And the Azerbaijani side said that the lists are being worked on now. This means they have dispatched these lists using their own channels, and they [the lists] are being processed," Solovyov told reporters after the meeting.
Solovyov said earlier that the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry was planning to increase its taskforce in Nagorno-Karabakh. "There will be an enlargement of the taskforce [of the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry in Nagorno-Karabakh]. There are plans to send psychologists there," he said.
The ministry said earlier that it had sent two humanitarian convoys to Nagorno-Karabakh with aid for Karabakh residents.
