Tehran-APA. The leadership of Iranâ€™s Armed Forces made decision to dig graves for enemy soldiers in case of any attack on its territory. APA reports that head of Committee for Missing Soldiers, Brigadier General Mir-Faisal Baqerzadeh said in case of war, the country would fully obey the terms of Geneva Convention.
â€œWe will dig 20,000 graves in each of the border provinces and bury slain enemy soldiers in a short period of time. The burial will be carried out by Iranian Red Crescent Society, Organization for Protection of Ecology and municipalities. We do not want the families of enemy soldiers to face the problems of the families in the aftermath of the Vietnam War. Application of this method will make it available to keep the documents and bodies of the slain enemy soldiers for a long time,â€ he said.
