 Bodies of 314 Azerbaijani, 775 Armenian servicemen recovered from battlefield

To date, the bodies of 314 Azerbaijani and 775 Armenian servicemen have been recovered from the battlefield, said Eldar Samadov, head of the working group of the State Commission of Azerbaijan for Prisoners of War, Hostages and Missing Persons, AzVision.az reports.

“As is known, one of the tasks arising from the trilateral statement, which was signed on 10 November 2020 by the Azerbaijani, Russian presidents and the Armenian prime minister, is to ensure the exchange of prisoners, hostages and dead bodies for humanitarian purposes. The parties first began to recover the bodies of the servicemen on the battlefield,” Samadov said.

He noted that this process is mediated by Russian peacekeeping forces and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
