The Armenian citizen Anna Davtyan, who disappeared in Turkey about three weeks ago, has been murdered. The Sabah newspaper reported that 29-year-old Anna Davtyan, a resident of Charentsavan, Armenia, who was five months pregnant, disappeared in mid-July. A few days ago there were rumors in Charentsavan that the Armenian woman’s body had been found.
Talking to a RFE/Radio Liberty correspondent, Charentsavan Mayor Hakob Shahgaldyan confirmed the information. He reported that the woman’s mother, who left for Turkey to find her daughter, identified her body 90%. The transportation of the body to Armenia has encountered problems - the body shows the signs of torture. The young woman’s parents are expecting DNA analysis results.
One more problem is that Armenia and Turkey have no diplomatic relations.
