Search and rescue teams on Wednesday retrieved the bodies of 41 more fallen servicemen from Horadiz and Jabrayil, Hunan Tadevosyan, the head of the information and public relations department of the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) State Service for Emergency Situations, told News.am in an interview.

"The search started on November 13, and 933 bodies have been recovered so far," Tadevosyan added.

He noted that in many areas, however, the Azerbaijanis were canceling the pre-planned search operations. "In many areas, such as Hadrut and Jabrayil, the Azerbaijanis are obstructing the implementation of search operations. The Red Cross and the Russian peacekeeping contingent are negotiating with them," Hunan Tadevosyan said.

He added that another obstacle was the cold weather, which was complicating the work of rescuers.

The search in Shushi tregion was stopped at the beginning of the month, but Tadevosyan assured that it will resume soon, as many servicemen who were in Shushi have not been found yet.
