Sadly, as a result of the wars, there are human remains that have been tested several times and the results have always been the same, but the relatives refuse to carry out the interment. The Minister of Health of Armenia, Anahit Avanesyan, stated this during a press conference Friday.

"Those examinations were also carried out abroad, with the assistance and mediation of the Red Cross," Avanesyan added.

According to the minister, decisions should be made regarding the cases confirmed in Armenia and abroad.

"Even keeping the remains in refrigerated conditions for years is not correct in any sense. The interments must take place. The format and principles of their implementation, that they be as acceptable as possible, and to take into account all the nuances of the topic will be decided within the framework of the interdepartmental commission," Avanesyan noted.

She, however, did not disclose any numbers.

"Conducting examinations is a part of investigative operations, and the Ministry of Health [of Armenia] does not have the authority to provide additional information," said the minister.

But Anahit Avanesyan noted that the Armenian state should take on responsibility to bury these remains.
