MoD: Exchange of bodies of those who died during Shusha battles was held

Through the intermediary and participation of the Russian peacekeeping forces stationed in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the bodies of several servicemen who died on the battlefield around the Shusha city were collected.

As part of this humanitarian action, the bodies of the Armenian armed forces' dead servicemen were collected and handed over to the Armenian side.

Also, within the framework of this action, the bodies of six service members of the Azerbaijan Army, who became Shahids (martyrs) during the Shusha city's battles, were received.

This humanitarian action was implemented by article eight of the Statement of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the prime minister of the Republic of Armenia, and the President of the Russian Federation dated November 10, 2020.
