We have cases where the remains of fallen soldiers have been identified, those results have been confirmed twice—sometimes three times—in other countries, but the relatives are not yet ready to take the remains and bury them. The minister of health of Armenia, Anahit Avanesyan, told this to reporters Monday.

"Until now, these samples have been sent to the Netherlands, Moscow, Georgia, Germany, and a number of other countries for additional examination. And they all have corresponded 100 percent to the results given in Armenia," she said, not wanting to mention, however, how many such remains they have.

And when asked how long these remains can be kept, whether this is a problem, and whether the Armenian government can decide on its own and bury these remains, Avanesyan responded: "It's quite a difficult process, and the government is doing everything so that the parents [of these fallen soldiers] have time to go through that painful decision and make a decision to bury [the remains]. But on the other hand, we understand that we need to address this issue after some time, and bury [these remains] in individual graves.”
