Armenian Family Dies in Car Accident in Krasnodar

A tragic car accident occurred on July 16 in Krasnodar Krai, Russia, resulting in the deaths of residents from the Ararat region's Lernakert community. The victims were 32-year-old Misha Mkrtchyan, his 28-year-old wife, and their two children aged 4 and 6. This was reported by Armtimes.com.

The family that perished in the accident was from Lernakert, situated in the Shirak province. Community leader Movses Movsisyan stated that the community has not yet recovered from the shock of this event. The Mkrtchyan family lived in Lernakert, and in recent years Misha had begun working abroad.

“He would come and go. This summer, they decided that his wife would take the kids to a seaside city for a vacation and then return. The wife and children had set off a few days prior and had arrived safely. And now this unfortunate event; I can hardly find words to express how I feel, it’s as if they are standing before my eyes. We are all in shock. The wife was also from our village. They were a beautiful, admirable family,” the community leader shared.

According to reports, the family's Ford vehicle lost control and veered off the roadway, crashing into a tree.
