Apart from Alen Sargsyan, 22, the Azerbaijanis have abducted two more young men from Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) at the illegal Azerbaijani checkpoint in the Lachin corridor on Monday. Armine Hayrapetyan, press secretary of the permanent representation of Artsakh to Armenia, told Armenian News-NEWS.am about this.

And in an interview with us, one of the witnesses of the incident—and who asked to remain anonymous—told us that these young men were apprehended by the Azerbaijanis by using brute force. One of the Azerbaijanis even hit one of these young men on the head with the butt of his rifle.

The other passengers of the bus carrying these young men are already in Goris, Armenia.
