Chairman of the State Commission Ali Naghiyev provided detailed information about the urgent measures being undertaken to implement the tasks set before the Commission regarding the issue of searching for missing Azerbaijani citizens, which President Ilham Aliyev has always kept in the spotlight, as well as the efforts to identify and exhume the graves of persons who went missing as a result of the Karabakh conflict and identify the remains of the bodies found. The Chief of the Service also stated that Armenia does not intend to cooperate in the field of clarifying the fate of missing persons and is still demonstrating an unconstructive position.
