Russia’s rescuers continue their search for three-year-old Armenian Artem Davtyan. The little boy had gone missing during the floods that ravaged the country’s Krasnodar Krai’s (federal subject).

Aside from Davtyan, the Internal Affairs Ministry’s Krymsk Regional Division is searching for four more people, Yerkramas newspaper of the Russian Armenians informs.       

To note, Artem Davtyan was in a car, together with his father and grandfather, on the day of the floods. The family was returning home from the side of the Krymsk city reservoir. Artem’s father Zaven Davtyan, 44, called home informing that they were caught in a downpour, that there was such flood below that they are steering the vehicle with great difficulty. And, subsequently, the mobile phone connection went dead. And the bodies of Artem’s father and grandfather, Tevos Davtyan, were found dead sometime thereafter.        

As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, the July 7 floods inundated close to 5,000 homes in the aforesaid Krai’s three cities—Gelendzhik, Krymsk, and Novorossiysk—and several villages. And there were seven Armenians among the 180 flood fatalities.
