Relatives of people missing from the Artsakh wars gathered once again outside the Armenian government building, announcing that they are giving the authorities one week to provide any information about the fate of their missing family members.

They said that if no information is provided, they will travel to the village of Tegh and then march on foot toward the Hakari Bridge, Sputnik Armenia reported.

"We are generously giving them one week. If there is no information, we will use our own channels. There are people in Azerbaijan who are in the same situation as we are, and we will try to establish contacts with them for mutual cooperation. We will investigate the fate of their missing relatives through our own efforts, and they will do the same there. The fate of these children cannot remain uncertain forever. Anyone who knows the burial sites of Azerbaijanis dating back to the 1990s should contact us so that we can create a common database," Arsen Ghukasyan, uncle of missing serviceman Sargis Ghukasyan, told reporters.

According to Ghukasyan, there was previously a case in which an officer took him to a map and showed him the location where an Azerbaijani serviceman had been buried. He said he does not know whether the Armenian authorities passed that information on to the Azerbaijani side.

"We will drive in a convoy to the village of Tegh and from there march to the Hakari Bridge, even though many of us have health problems. One thing we can say for certain is that it is no longer possible to live like this. We no longer have hope in any state or international institution. We must deal with our children's fate ourselves; no one else will do it for us," Ghukasyan said.

Relatives of servicemen missing during the 2020 44-day war have repeatedly staged protests demanding the publication of the report prepared by the parliamentary commission that examined the circumstances of the war. They say they have waited for years for answers but have yet to receive clear information about the causes of the war and those responsible. Their demand remains unchanged: publish the full report and reveal what happened.

According to official figures, 437 people on the Armenian side went missing between 1988 and 2005, including 224 servicemen and 213 civilians. Another 191 people are officially listed as missing following the 2020 44-day war. In addition, 22 people remain missing after the explosion at the fuel depot in Stepanakert following Azerbaijan's offensive against Artsakh in September 2023.
