Relatives of servicemen from Shirak region illegally detained in Azerbaijani have started a sit-in strike in front of the government building.

“We received 3 letters from the Red Cross, one videotape, and the child called twice. What should he have said? He said he was well, would he say he was bad?” The father of the captured soldier told reporters.

They met with Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. In his words, he told them to be patient for a little more time.

“I have been patient for 7 months, and I have no more patience,” he said.
