"Many of the Armenians who were on board the plane were without money, in slippers, without belongings and tickets," witness of the events Serik Voskanian, who was among illegal Armenian migrants repatriated to Armenia by force by the Krasnodar authorities January 17, told Aravot newspaper. Her disabled husband and daughter remained in Krasnodar - the family was not given the chance to leave together. Virtually, in Voskanian's opinion, they remained hostages. Their family has lived in Krasnodar region since 2000. In the words of the editors of the newspaper, other forced repatriates from Krasnodar also address them, protesting against violation of their dignity and property rights by the region authorities.
