A 54-year-old Argentinian woman who was lured into northwest Syria two years ago on a marriage promise was finally on her way home on Saturday, a local authority in Idlib said. History teacher Nancy Roxana Papa had accepted the invitation of a Syrian man she had met online three years earlier and traveled to Turkey in 2016, before entering Syria. "She returned to Turkey on Saturday after the required legal documents were completed," said Bassam Sahiouni, an official from the local authority in Idlib province. She entered Turkey after the Salvation Government handed her over to IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation one month ago. Papa had to remain at Bab al-Hawa Border Crossing to await completion of administrative and legal procedures for her repatriation. “You saved my life,” she said after Sahiouni explained the circumstances of her misadventure at a news conference on Nov. 2. She entered Syria illegally in 2016 and was immediately kidnapped by a gang that was waiting for her on the other side of the border and contacted her daughter to demand a ransom, Sahiouni said. He added that she managed to escape from her captors after a year and survived by staying with residents and moving from home to home. The “Salvation Government” sought to address the case earlier this year and tried without success to contact Argentina’s foreign ministry, before the Humanitarian Relief Foundation eventually dealt with her situation, Sahiouni said. Last year, the Salvation Government reunited a Belgian girl with her mother on Nov. 26, after the death of the four-year-old’s father, who had entered Syria with the child in 2017. In February 2018, the same authority handed over to Turkish officials two Canadian nationals who were held for several weeks in Idlib.
