Search and rescue teams of Artsakh’s State Service of Emergency Situations found no casualties of the 2020 war or missing soldiers during their operations in former combat zones in southern regions on Thursday.

However, according to preliminary data, the remains of two fallen servicemen were handed over to the service at the assembly point of a military unit in Martakert region. The bodies are yet to be identified through a forensic DNA analysis, the State Service of Emergency Situations said.

Two days ago, the body of another soldier was transferred from the same place.

During the recent war, the area came under Azerbaijani missile attack.

The search continues in Hadrut and Varanda (Fizuli) regions today.

Since the start of the ceasefire, a total of 1,488 bodies of fallen troops and civilians have been found during the search operations.

“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
