The families of the Armenian reservists who were captured by Azerbaijan in Khtsaberd village of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) held a protest Tuesday in front of the Russian consulate in Gyumri.

They demanded the immediate return of these captives.

A relative of one of these captives told Armenian News-NEWS.am that they had demanded a meeting with the Russian consul in Gyumri, and some time later this meeting had taken place.

"We said that it was their fault that the boys were taken prisoner, they should have the boys returned. But the result was not satisfactory, they said, 'We are working [on its],'" the aforesaid said, adding that their protests will be continued.
