Hraparak: Man taken captive in Azerbaijan lost his way while trying to collect wood

A resident of Chinari village in Tavush province of Armenia was taken captive by Azerbaijanis yesterday. Village administrator Samvel Saghoyan told Hraparak that Karen Petrosyan lost his way while trying to collect wood.

“We have warned the villagers against any extreme moves. I have no idea why he did such a thing,” Mr Saghoyan said, adding that Karen was unmarried and was known for his quiet temper.

The incident has already been reported to the Defense Ministry and the ICRC Armenia office.
