The “court hearing” on Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) citizen Arsen Baghdasaryan is still in progress in Azerbaijan. 

The Ganja Court of Appeal on Monday held a preliminary hearing on the appeal against the judgment of the Ganja Court on Grave Crimes on the case of Bagdasaryan, reported APA news agency of Azerbaijan.

The respective hearing was scheduled for July 15.

As reported earlier, the Ganja Court on Grave Crimes had sentenced captured NKR citizen Baghdasaryan to fifteen years in a maximum security prison.

Within the framework of this hastily concocted case, Arsen Baghdasaryan was charged with “sabotage.”

This action by the Azerbaijan authorities, however, was just a reprisal to the arrest and subsequent conviction, in the NKR, of Azerbaijani saboteurs Dilham Askerov and Shahbaz Guliyev, who were detained with weapons in their hands and who plead guilty in court.
