TEHRAN, Jul 7 - A funeral ceremony for sailors killed in nuclear submarine fire was held in St Petersburg on Saturday.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC)-The official part of the ceremony was closed for media, but journalists were allowed to enter the cemetery shortly after it ended.
Russian officials have faced accusations of trying to cover up the full details of the accident that killed 14 sailors as they were carrying out what the defense ministry called a survey of the sea floor near the Arctic.
On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin bestowed top state honors on the sailors.
