Azerbaijan continues to take consistent steps to raise international awareness of the issue of missing persons, stated Deputy Chief of the State Security Service, Lieutenant General Sharafat Hasanov, at the international conference on "Enhancing Cooperation and Advancing Modern in Addressing the Issue of Missing Persons" held in Baku.

According to Report, he noted that since 2023 Azerbaijan has been actively hosting international events dedicated to the topic, adding that further discussions are planned this year.
