Russian border guards in Armenia have apprehended another trespasser at border with Turkey.
Russia's frontier guards at the Artashat border guard detachment division have detained a person who had illegally crossed the Armenian-Turkish border along the Araks River, the press service of the Russian Border Guard Department in Armenia said.
The trespasser is a citizen of Guinea born in 1993. The criminal claimed that he arrived in Tehran from Guinea to enter a university. After arriving in Tehran he got acquainted to a taxi driver and asked him to tour him around the country. The taxi driver had allegedly brought him to Turkey bypassing checkpoints.
