YEREVAN, 12 DECEMBER, ARMENPRESS. The members of the Armenian family having returned after being held in captivity in Azerbaijan have undergone check-ups at the Surp Grigor Lusavorich Medical Center.

Since 2010, the five-member family had been in captivity in Azerbaijan. As “ArmenPress” reports, hours after repatriation, the parents, Yeghishe and Ruzanna Gevorgyan, told journalists that they had been subject to assaults in Azerbaijan. “We were kept at a camp for prisoners of war, and my children had been eating the chicken meat bitten by rats all this time. The Azerbaijani were forcing us to change our last names and become Turks,” Yeghishe Gevorgyan said.
