The parents of a teenager who disappeared in Dagestan ask him to return home through the Committee for adaptation of gunmen

On August, 28, the Presidential Committee for adaptation of gunmen of the Republic of Dagestan organized a meeting between representatives of mass media and the family of a young man who disappeared 2,5 months before. His relatives consider it most probable that he has “gone to the forest” and recorded a video message for him asking him to return home.

On June, 15, a sixteen-years-old resident of the town of Buinaksk left home telling his parents that he was going to the stadium to do sport and did not come back.

The young man’s relatives, friends and neighbours describe him only in the positive aspect as a responsive, kind and sociable person. According to his father Absalutdin Temirkhavov, the boy was brought up in a good environment, went in for sports, was devout and never expressed not only extremist but even radical ideas. On the day when he disappeared there was nothing unusual in his behaviour, that is why his disappearance was quite a surprise to everyone, RIA “Dagestan” reports. 

In the video message placed at YouTube the teenager’s mother and elder brother ask everyone who knows his location to help him return home.
