Description :
On January 19, 1990, the national movement leader was killed and that same day her son also disappeared. That day he had received a phone call instructing him to deliver firearms to a village called Yeraskhavan. He did as he was instructed and was never heard from again. Lida and her daughter Haykuhi had isolated themselves in their grief for twenty years. With the help of the ICRC and psychologists they have been able to get counselling and reach out to other families with missing relatives to get the emotional support they were lacking.
