RA NSS: Students abducted by Azerbaijan have been returned

The RA National Security Services reported that on September 7, the Azerbaijani side returned the students – Alen Sargsyan, Vahe Hovsepyan and Levon Grigoryan – who were abducted and illegally deprived of their freedom, while being transported from Artsakh to Armenia accompanied by the Russian peacekeeping forces.

The transfer to the Armenian side took place with the participation of the Russian peacekeepers near the Hakari bridge.

Earlier, the Azerbaijani prosecutor’s office accused the students from Nagorno-Karabakh of the “desecration of the flag of Azerbaijan” and arrested them for 10 days, based on a video distributed 2 years ago on social media.
