Karabakh: Search temporarily suspended for war victims

PanARMENIAN.Net - The search for the victims of the Nagorno-Karabakh war has been temporarily suspended because of heavy snow, Karabakh authorities said Tuesday, March 9

The mission was halted in the south of Artsakh (Karabakh) on Monday due to reduced visibility from fog, the State Emergency Service added.

Since November 13, the rescue teams have found the bodies and remains of 1490 people, including dozens of civilians, who had failed to leave their homes when their settlements went under Azerbaijan's control. Family members and parents of missing soldiers were participating in the process too.

Baku had indefinitely suspended the mission in the last two weeks of February in territories under its control, offering no particular explanation for the decision.
