Guba. 30 December. REPORT.AZ/ Due to the frequent avalanches in the area, it is impossible to define the tracks.”

Chairman of the North Regional Center of the Ministry of Emergency of Azerbaijan, Sahin Mirzayev told the Northern Bureau of Report news Agency.

He said the search continues every day from 06:00 to 17:00: “After 17:00 pm search is suspended. Because the weather is severely cold and it is impossible to conduct search ops in the evening hours.

I am the head of search group and I am currently in the mountain. What is the purpose of those who spread wrong information?! I call all media and social media users to refrain from spreading information, which has not been officially confirmed.”
