Azerbaijan has conducted an “investigation” at a stunning speed into the case involving Armenian captive soldier Arsen Baghdasaryan.

The preliminary trial of Baghdasaryan will be held by the Ganja Court of Grave Crimes on April 7, reported APA news agency of Azerbaijan.

Within the framework of this hastily concocted case, Nagorno-Karabakh Republic citizen Arsen Baghdasaryan was “charged” under the Azerbaijani Criminal Code’s articles 218.2 (participation in criminal community), 29,120.2.1 (attempt to a deliberate murder by group of persons, on preliminary arrangement by group of persons, by organized group or criminal community), 29,120.2.7 (attempt to a deliberate murder of two or more persons), 29,120.2.12 (attempt to a deliberate murder on motive of national, racial, religious hatred or enmity), 29,282.2 (attempt to commitment of explosion, arson or other actions directed on destruction or damage of enterprises, constructions, means of communication, means of message and communication, objects of life-support of a population with a view of undermining defensibility and economic safety of the Azerbaijan Republic), and he was sentenced to pretrial detention.

To note, the case of Arsen Baghdasaryan is a vivid illustration of Azerbaijan’s violation of international human rights. The Azerbaijani authorities had not permitted the International Committee of the Red Cross representatives to see him for 1.5 months since his capture. Baghdasaryan was taken into Azerbaijan captivity on December 26 of the year past.
