Narek Sardaryan, 29, went missing in mid-July and was featured in a video published by an Azerbaijani TV station several days later.

"Unfortunately, [he] is not at a relative's place, but with the rival... we must understand how to act," Pashinyan told the woman in the southern Armenian town of Goris.
