Resident of the village of Voskevaz, Gayane Injighulyan has issued an open letter to Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, asking him to help in returning her son Hakob Injighulyan (pictured), a soldier who has been held captive in Azerbaijan for almost 4 months.
In the letter, she writes, in part: "It's not only my son who is a prisoner, but our entire family, peace in our soul, and our faith in the future […] Let me say that my son has health problems and under such conditions those problems will intensify. You too are a parent and can imagine how much a parent's heart will hurt for her child who is being held captive. I know that already both the defense ministry and the entire state wish to do their utmost.
"I am prepared to ransom my own life for my son; unfortunately, that's not possible.
"In the name of Hakob's 80-year-old grandmother, all the members of our family and me personally, I strongly ask you to place under your patronage the solution to this issue.
"Hakob is not only my son, but also a soldier of the Armenian army of his own free will, who entrusted his life to the state. I know for sure that you will not be indifferent to the blood and tears of a captured soldier's mother.
"If possible, please also raise this issue in your upcoming meeting with Azerbaijan's president […] do not leave us alone in our grief. We look forward to your assistance."
