According to the first Artsakh war, 777 Armenians continue to be missing.
2020 After the 44-day war, the fate of 175 servicemen and 20 civilians is unknown. 2023 During September, 42 people continue to be considered missing during the September occupation of Artsakh. "Azerbaijan is fully responsible for the destruction of violent disappearances and the destruction of cultural evidence associated with that tragedy.
The looting and destruction of the Stepanakert Museum is not only a crime against the memory of the people of Artsakh, but also a gross violation of international law. It is clear today that international organizations have not fulfilled their mission to protect the victims of violent disappearances and to maintain cultural heritage. Their inaction contributes to impunity.
The right of the return of the people of Artsakh is the only effective mechanism to protect the cultural heritage, the restoration of the memory of the missing and preserving our identity. We respect the memory and confirmation of each missing. Our struggle will continue for truth and return, "the ministry said, publishing a photo of the Museum of Stepanakert's missing from the Occupational Administration.
