Remains of Soldiers Are So Damaged That Examination May Not Be Possible Even in Other Countries, Minister

We no longer have samples that have not been examined at least once. There are remains, bodies, that are very damaged, and isolating DNA from them and conducting an examination is quite a complicated process. We are in contact with other high-level international institutions, with their experts.

Currently, we are working on the remaining, very complex examinations and we will see what results we get. Of course, we will have a small number that we can't isolate.

This was stated by Minister of Health Anahit Avanesyan during a conversation with journalists regarding the identification of the bodies of fallen soldiers. In response to a clarifying question from a journalist asking if this means that it will remain unknown whose bodies they are, the minister answered positively: 'Yes, there are remains that are so damaged that even in other countries it will not be possible to conduct an examination.'

As for the fate of these remains, Avanesyan said that she cannot state anything at this moment.
