Disappeared Soldier in Gyumri Still Not Found

Gyumri’s Mush District Police Department is still looking for Gyurmi 102-nd Russian Military Base soldier, Lance Corporal 25-year old Artur Afyan. According to a police statement, Afyan left home around 2AM on February 21 and never returned.

Asparez paper reports that according to word circulating in Gyumri, Afyan had debts which could be the reason for his disappearance. However, Tavush province’s Hovk village mayor Grigor Gevorgyan told Haykakan Zhamanak daily that Afyan would not disappear because of some debt.

“He is a very organized, hard working young man, and respected in the village. Who doesn’t have debt today, I don’t think it is due to debt,” said Gevorgyan.

Artur Afyan resides in Gyumri, is married and has a 2-month-old baby.
