ArmInfo. The Investigative Committee of Armenia initiated proceedings on the fact of keeping a citizen of Armenia in slavery in the Azerbaijani-populated village of Sohanlukh of Georgia.
The case was initiated on the basis of media materials. As a result of the measures taken by the IC, it was found out that in 2003 the citizen of the Republic of Armenia, in the hope of finding a job, went to Georgia. There he asked an unfamiliar driver to assist him in finding a job. The latter drove a RA citizen to the village of Soganlukh and handed over to one Azerbaijani family, who, using the helpless condition of a citizen of the RA, unfamiliarity of the terrain contained his slavish conditions until May 7, 2017. The RA citizen was permanently forced to perform hard physical work for this family and its neighbors. For this he did not receive salary, was kept on the roof of a house belonging to the Azerbaijani family, slept on cardboard boxes.
