Celebrating the Safe Return of Vicken Euljekjian

We are overjoyed to share the news of Prisoner of War (POW) Vicken Euljekjian’s safe return on January 14.

After years of uncertainty, Vicken is now reunited with his family and receiving the care he needs, as his family begins the important process of healing.

This moment reflects the dedication of our teams and supporters through Families of Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund (FFSRF), Artsakh Family Integration Fund (AFIF), and Prisoner of War (POW) initiatives, focused on providing humanitarian support, care, and assistance to families affected by conflict.

Our work is guided by compassion, solidarity, and the commitment to stand with Artsakh families and the families of fallen soldiers.

A special thank you to Luciana Minassian, our Buenos Aires Chapter President, whose dedication, and tireless advocacy have played a vital role in supporting POWs and helping bring Vicken home safely.
