More than 550 people have been recognized as injured party within the framework of the criminal case into the aggression which Azerbaijan unleashed against the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR/Artsakh), starting on April 2.

Artsakh prosecutor Karen Gabrielyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am that, in accordance with the petition received from the NKR Defense Army, criminal cases were opened on April 4, and subsequently, they were merged into one proceeding.

The criminal cases are instituted pursuant to several articles of the NKR Criminal Code.

“The injured parties are being questioned,” Gabrielyan added. “The investigation into the criminal case continues.”

The NKR Police are conducting an investigation.

In addition, the Karabakh side has evidence attesting to the Azerbaijanis’ ridiculing the dead bodies of Armenian military servicemen, and torture.

The Azerbaijani side continues violating the ceasefire arrangement on a regular basis, including the shelling of settlements in Artsakh.
