Karabakh resumes search for remains of war victims

PanARMENIAN.Net - The search for the victims of the Nagorno-Karabakh war resumed Wednesday, March 10, two days after being temporarily suspended because of heavy snow and fog, Karabakh authorities report.

Rescue teams are currently working in the regions of Martuni and Varanda, the Karabakh State Emergency Service said Wednesday.

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.
