Today, the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) State Service of Emergency Situations issued a statement saying that the Azerbaijani side is obstructing the search and rescue operations, which had started after the ceasefire last November and were never interrupted for a long time. Ani Samsonyan, a member of the opposition Bright Armenia parliamentary faction, on Monday wrote about this on Facebook.

"It is inadmissible for this work to stop because any delay creates unfavorable conditions for searching and finding the bodies of the victims. The families of the victims should not be deprived of the right to know the fate of their relatives.

The Armenian side must demand justifications from Azerbaijan as to why they are obstructing this work. Otherwise, it is assumed that Azerbaijan once again intends to violate international humanitarian law with impunity and try to reap benefits from it," Samsonyan added.
