The Azerbaijani side abducted, at the illegal Azerbaijani checkpoint in the Lachin corridor, Alen Sargsyan, born in 2001, who was going to Armenia from Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), and escorted by Russian peacekeepers.

No reliable information about the reasons for the abduction is yet known, Armenian News-NEWS.am learns from the Artsakh Information Center.

Sargsyan is a university student who was going to Yerevan to continue his studies.

Details on this incident will be released later.

Azerbaijan continues its genocidal policy towards the people of Artsakh, once again violating the norms of international humanitarian law.
