The “court case” of Armenian captive Arsen Baghdasaryan is in progress in Azerbaijan.

The “witnesses” in the case have testified this time, reported Haqqin.az news agency of Azerbaijan.

They noted that Baghdasaryan was in civilian clothes at the time of his capture.

No other details were provided.

The “trial” was held behind closed doors.

Within the framework of this hastily concocted case, Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) 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 brought against NKR citizen Arsen Baghdasaryan is also 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.
