VAN - A motion was submitted to initiate an investigation into human bones found in the Zilan Valley in Van.

In the motion, which was submitted with the request of Minister of Justice Bekir Bozdağ to respond, it was emphasized that the relevant prosecutor's office should decide to confiscate the human bones in the vicinity "without delay" and initiate an investigation.
 
The motion included the following questions:

* Have there been any preservation, determination and report studies regarding the bones and other evidences found in the area in question?
 
*What are the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the exposed bones? How many people are estimated to belong to?
