The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan is over, but some families are still waiting for news of their missing relatives.

Bodies are still being counted and identified, and there is no clear information on what has happened to the missing.

Twenty-two-year-old Soghomon was fighting on the Armenian frontline against Azerbaijan. The last time his family heard from him was 1 October, the BBC reports.

He was a soldier, but also an artist and a talented piano player.

His father and sister say they can’t give up hope that he will return.

Soghomon was about to graduate music school, but had to join the army.

After losing contact with his son, Kamsar drove to the town where his unit was located. But the commanders were giving him confusing information.

The commander-in-chief told him that he was killed because of shelling. But another commander said that was impossible because they were together the following day.

“I am waiting with hope that Soghomon will return. I wouldn’t be able to function, if I didn’t have this hope,” the father says.
