The Azerbaijani side offered to provide DNA samples to identify the remains found in the liberated areas and, presumably, belonging to Armenian servicemen. Ali Nagiyev, the head of the State Security Service of Azerbaijan, the chairman of the State Commission on Captives, Hostages and Missing Citizens, announced this during the 4th International Conference on Missing Persons. He said that the examinations did not record any coincidence between the remains found in those areas and the DNA data of 50 Armenians who are considered missing. Nagiyev clarified that he transferred those DNA profiles to Armenia in January 2026. "We are ready to cooperate to find out the fate of the missing persons of both sides. However, accurate and complete information is necessary to achieve results. "Armenia should provide all data on the fate of missing Azerbaijanis, the places of mass and individual burials, as well as create conditions for opening the archives and collecting eyewitness testimonies," he emphasized. And yes. Nagiyev said that from February 2025, the State Commission maintains direct contacts with the relevant commission of Armenia. Within the framework of these contacts, meetings were held and information was exchanged. The Azerbaijani side transferred to Armenia a list of 834 citizens of Azerbaijan who were captured or held hostage during the first Karabakh war and were kept secret from international organizations. These data are based on information from various sources and eyewitness accounts. Detailed information was provided on 104 of them. "We also transferred data on 54 of our citizens who were officially registered by the International Committee of the Red Cross. The bodies of 17 of them were returned. The bodies of 33 people, who, according to claims, died in the places of detention, were not transferred, and no information about the fate of four others appeared. Those families are still waiting for answers," said Nagiyev.
