STEPANAKERT, OCTOBER 31, ARTSAKHPRESS: The bone fragments were found during construction work at the Vatican's embassy to Italy, near the city's famous Villa Borghese museum.

A Vatican statement said experts were trying to determine the age and sex of the remains, and the date of death, according to BBC News.

Italian media have speculated they may be those of a teenage daughter of a Vatican employee who vanished in 1983.

The disappearance of 15-year-old Emanuela Orlandi has been widely linked either to organised crime or to an attempt to force the release from prison of Mehmet Ali Agca, the Turkish man who tried to assassinate Pope John Paul II in 1981.
