He noted that 230 biological samples have been taken from these body remains in the Forensic Medical Expertise and Pathological Anatomy Association of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Azerbaijan and handed over to the Laboratory of the Forensic Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "As I mentioned above, work is underway in this area. But taking into consideration of both the character of the war and the Armenian trait, we can say that the identification process will take a long time. Experts working in this area also think like that".
