A Chechen native was deported from Armenia after threatening to kill his daughter.

A Chechen man detained after his daughter reported death threats to police has been deported from Armenia. The man is also banned from entering Armenia.

As "Caucasian Knot" reported, female refugees from the North Caucasus find themselves in a vulnerable position in a foreign land due to intense nostalgia, which forces them to seek contact with people from the North Caucasus Federal District and creates the risk of exposing their asylum, human rights activists noted in November 2025.

Armenia has deported a Russian citizen of Chechen origin who was detained by police about a week ago for threatening to kill his daughter, Artur Sakunts, head of the Vanadzor office of the Helsinki Citizens' Assembly, told CivilNet.

The human rights activist added that the deportee is also banned from entering Armenia. Sakunts called this the result of joint work between human rights activists and law enforcement officials. He added that security measures would be applied to the girl for a period of time, the publication writes.

On February 10, the Armenian Ministry of Internal Affairs reported on its website that on the evening of February 7, a foreign citizen called the police and reported that her friend's father had arrived from abroad, threatened to kill his daughter, and had now kidnapped her.

"The caller's friend's location was quickly established. [...] Police officers went to a shopping center, where they met the young woman. She confirmed that her father had threatened to kill her. As a result of operational and investigative actions, it was established that the 48-year-old man was in a cafe in Yerevan at the time," the publication states.

The man, who had arrived from abroad, was found in the cafe and detained. "Considering a similar tragic case, where the police were not informed of the persecution, thanks to a quick and effective response, the district police officers were able to prevent further consequences," the statement noted.

As a reminder, on October 19, 2025, 23-year-old Aishat Baimuradova, a native of Chechnya, was found dead in a rented apartment in Yerevan. Baimuradova told human rights activists that she fled "from beatings." According to the woman, she was forced to leave her home due to violence from her husband, and was unable to return to her parents' home because she feared facing violence from her father. After leaving Russia, she came to Armenia.

Karina Iminova, whom Ayshat had met before her death, and 30-year-old Chechen native Said-Khamzat Baysarov were seen near the house where Baimuradova's body was found. According to human rights activists, Karina Iminova lied to acquaintances about her past and purposefully met people who had left Chechnya. She is not originally from Chechnya, but has visited the republic. Iminova and Baysarov left Armenia for Russia immediately after Baymuradova's murder.

In February, the Investigative Committee of Armenia officially named for the first time the suspects in Aishat Baymuradova's murder. The agency confirmed that they were Karina Iminova and Said-Khamzat Baysarov, already named by human rights activists. A request for their information was sent to Interpol, but Russia ignored the request for assistance with the investigation.

At the end of October 2025, Chechen Human Rights Commissioner Mansur Soltayev stated that Aishat Baimuradova had a conflict with human rights activists. Commentators called his version absurd. Chechen authorities used Baimuradova's murder to intimidate potential fugitives from Chechnya, and Soltayev became the face of this campaign, human rights activists pointed out.

Women whose behavior their relatives consider a disgrace to the family can become victims of "honor killings" in the Caucasus. Such murders are committed by relatives themselves, most often a father or brother, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Honor Killings" in the North Caucasus".
