Azerbaijan intends to try abducted Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Karabakh resident Vagif Khachatryan.

Khachatryan "will stand before the court in the near future," Emil Taghiyev, Head of the Special Investigations Department at the Military Prosecutor's Office of Azerbaijan, told the media.

Vagif Khachatryan is charged under the Azerbaijani Criminal Code articles on "genocide" and "deportation or forced resettlement of the population" during the first Artsakh war, which Azerbaijan itself had unleashed against Artsakh in the early 1990s.

Khachatryan was literally snatched away by Azerbaijanis from the hands of Red Cross employees recently.
