“It was deeply moving to learn about the pain experienced by families who are unable to receive information about the fate of missing persons. It is truly difficult that they do not know what happened to their loved ones and that families and communities as a whole suffer from this situation,” Graham Stuart Brady, a member of the UK House of Lords and participant in the 4th International Conference held within the framework of the “Baku Dialogue” on Missing Persons, told journalists in Shusha, APA reports.
He noted that they had visited Khojaly and the genocide memorial today, adding that he was deeply affected by what he heard about the tragedy and the heavy losses:
“Coming here, however, made it possible to see the more hopeful side of the situation. We familiarized ourselves with the work being carried out to rebuild the city and the community. Buildings are being constructed, such as the new mosque you can see behind me. The aim is to ensure that displaced families can live in Shusha again. For this purpose, in addition to houses, hospitals, schools and other facilities needed for people’s daily lives are also being built.”
