YEREVAN. – The Armenian Ministry of Defense (MOD) continues to search for Senior Lieutenant Meruzhan Harutyunyan, who went missing from a military unit in the Vayots Dzor Region on the evening of May 1, the MOD press service informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“We have nothing new at this point; the search operations are still in progress,” defense minister’s press secretary Artsrun Hovhannisyan stated.
