“Haykakan Zhamanak” daily has published some information about the Armenian citizen Anna Davtyan who got lost in Turkey. According to this information, last year Anna got married to an Armenian who lives in London and frequently visits Dubai. The article reads that the couple went to Antalya for holiday on July 15. The husband took Anna to the bus station on July 17 where she was going to take a bus to Armenia. Anna called her mother from the bus station and told her “Mum, I’m coming.” After that nobody has seen the young woman. Some time after the couple parted ways Anna’s husband called her mother from England and asked if she had got home safe and sound. Anna’s mother told him Anna hadn’t arrived. The family called Anna on her mobile phone, but nobody replied.

A young woman’s corpse was found in a city in Turkey fifteen days after Anna’s disappearance. The corpse was found in marshes, and next to it was a corpse of a baby still connected to its mother with umbilical cord. The face of the woman’s corpse was disfigured to such an extent that it was impossible to recognize it. When Anna’s mother, Karine Davtyan went to the morgue, she found the corpse almost completely covered. The mother was allowed to see only the hands and legs, after which she said that it was possible that it was Anna’s corpse. As a friend of Davtyan’s informed, when Mrs. Karine was in the morgue, the newspaper covering the face of the corpse had fallen off, and the mother seeing the disfigured face had fainted.

On August 8, the parents of Anna Davtyan retuned to Armenia from Turkey where she disappeared in mid-July. The woman’s mother, who left for Turkey to find her daughter, identified her body 90%, Charentsavan Mayor Hakob Shahgaldyan told NEWS.am. The young woman’s parents are expecting DNA analysis results that will be revealed in 2 months.

Spokesman for the Armenian Foreign Ministry Tigran Balayan told NEWS.am that the ministry is undertaking certain steps to return the body.
