Arsen Khojoyan—the Armenian citizen who had been returned from captivity in Azerbaijan about two years ago—continues receiving treatment at the Scientific-Medical Center of Dermatology and Sexually Transmitted Diseases, in Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan.

Khojoyan’s mother, Ms. Svetlana, told about the aforesaid to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“The psoriasis disease constantly recurs,” she said. “That’s why my son moved to Yerevan to be able to get the treatments.”

Arsen Khojoyan, a then-23-year-old resident of Verin Karmiraghbyur village of Armenia’s Tavush Province, had crossed the Armenia-Azerbaijan border and was taken prisoner on March 7, 2014. With mediation by the International Committee of the Red Cross, however, Khojoyan was repatriated on April 10 of the same year.

But he complains of physical and psychological health issues ever since his return from captivity.

The repatriated Armenian captive was admitted to hospital on August 30, 2014, and diagnosed with vulgar psoriasis which, according to doctors, is a result of stress. Although he was discharged from hospital on September 12 of the same year, he had been readmitted to hospital several times.

Arsen Khojoyan now receives disability pension.
