In remembrance of the International Day of Missing Persons on August 30th, we kindly invite you to the Missing Persons Commemoration Event, which takes place the following week, on September 6, 2014. The event seeks to collectively commemorate every person who went missing during a war or armed conflict as well as every single one of their relatives or loved ones who are just as affected by this situation.
We call on you for solidarity and participation in this event! There will be a screening of a short-film, which intends to contribute awareness on this issue. In addition, we want to call on the ministries to adopt the Law on Missing Persons as a step towards change and reconciliation.
The event will take place on September 6, 2014, 4pm, at the NGO Center- Vanadzor, Armenia, G. Nzhdeh 14, 4th floor!
