Russian Federal Security Service border guards in Armenia apprehended a trespasser on the Armenian-Turkish border on August 13. According to the preliminary check, the trespasser is a citizen of Guinea, born in 1993. The trespasser said he came to Tehran from Guinea for study at the university. He told that upon arriving in Tehran he told the taxi driver to tour him across the country, but the taxi driver brought him to Turkey bypassing the checkpoint. The taxi driver took his passport in the territory of Turkey, put an entry visa to Turkey on that and then returned the passport and went in an unknown direction. The Guinea man said for two days he lived in an abandoned building in Turkey, where he had the money and mobile phone stolen. In search of food, he crossed the river Araks, thereby violating the state border. He was handed over to Armenian law enforcement agencies.
