The Court of General Jurisdiction in Kotayk Province has rejected an appeal against the decision not to initiate a criminal case regarding the bodies of soldiers who died during the 44-day war, found piled in bags in the basement of the Abovyan morgue, on August 3.

According to attorney Garik Galikyan, who filed the appeal, he has not yet received the court's decision and is unable to comment on it.
