YEREVAN, JULY 29, ARMENPRESS. The International Committee of the Red Cross is closely following the events in Khorenatsi Street, hoping that a resolution will be found and respect for human life and dignity will be taken into account, Zara Amatuni – Head of Communications Projects of ICRC Armenia told ARMENPRESS.

Amatuni says the Armenian ICRC delegation has refused two applications by civil activists, which were requesting the ICRC to be involved in the proceedings surrounding the police precinct, as an international structure.

As a neutral independent humanitarian organization, the ICRC since 1992 has been present in Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan in relation to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Our work is focused on issues with respect to the missing persons and their families, mine victims, prisoners of war and civilian internees, civilians living in areas along the international border and the line of contact, and promotion of the international humanitarian law. When in a position and once the scope of our actions applies, we shall involve in the situation", Amatuni said.

She also said that the ICRC acts as a neutral intermediary organization during non - international armed conflicts and other situations of armed violence, maintaining dialogue with all sides to a conflict. As examples of their work, she mentioned Syria and Yemen.
