The search operations for bodies of killed in the Nagorno-Karabakh war zone have resumed on Saturday, the head of the press department of Artsakh’s State Service of Emergency Situation, Hunan Tadevosyan, told Panorama.am. Tadevosyan reminded that the operations were not conducted in the past two days due to the visit of the Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and his wife to the fortress town of Shushi occupied by the Azerbaijani forces during the 2020 war against Artsakh.

As the Artsakh official said five rescue and search groups have left in the directions of Shushi, Fizuli, Hadrut and Jabrayil. Meanwhile, on Friday, the Azerbaijani side handed over to the Armenian side two bodies from Talish and Mataghis directions.  

“Bodies are unidentifiable. A forensic examination will be conducted. We assume they are servicemen as the bodies were retrieved from combat positions,” Tadevosyan said. 

To date, a total of 1232 bodies of servicemen and civilians have been found during the search operations. 

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
