Azerbaijan suspends Karabakh search mission indefinitely

PanARMENIAN.Net - Search and rescue operations in Nagorno-Karabakh have been suspended indefinitely after the Azerbaijani side failed to authorize the mission on Monday, February 22, Karabakh authorities report.

No explanation was given for Azerbaijan's refusal to allow the Karabakh rescue teams to search for the bodies of the victims of the recent war in territories under Baku's control, the Karabakh Emergency Service said Monday.

The process was first halted on February 15 and has not been resumed since.

Since November 13, the Karabakh rescue teams have found the bodies and remains of 1485 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 are participating in the process too.
