Armenia doesn't provide information about remains of missing Azerbaijanis - official

BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 1. Armenia doesn't
provide information about the remains of missing Azerbaijanis,
Prosecutor General of Azerbaijan Kamran Aliyev told reporters,
Trend reports.
According to him, international proceedings on claims brought by
Azerbaijan regarding the demand for compensation from Armenia in
relation to citizens killed in the First Karabakh War are also
carried out.
He pointed out that both within the country and on the
international level, Azerbaijan is more concerned with the fate of
missing citizens than with compensation.
"Joint actions are being taken in this direction with the State
Security Service and the State Commission on Prisoners of War and
Missing Citizens. After some time, the remains of missing persons
are found, handed over to their relatives, and buried according to
customs.
Unfortunately, the Armenian side does not provide information
about these mass graves. As a result, this process is proceeding
with difficulty. Nevertheless, significant progress has been
achieved on this issue," the official added.
To note, a total of 3,961 people have been registered as missing
as of August 1 due to Armenia's military aggression against
Azerbaijan, of whom 3,953 went missing during the First Karabakh
War.



By August 30, 2024, the remains of 185 Azerbaijanis who were
killed during the First Karabakh War and were buried in unmarked
graves had been exhumed from 21 cemeteries across 13 cities and
districts of Azerbaijan.
To note, according to the Supreme Court of the Republic of
Azerbaijan, more than twenty thousand Azerbaijanis were killed by
Armenians during the First Karabakh War.
