The judicial farce against the Armenian prisoners of war (POWs) has started Wednesday in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan.

According to Azerbaijani media, Armenian POWs Ludvig Mkrtchyan and Alyosha Khosrovyan are “on trial.” Both are veterans of the first Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) war in the early 1990s, and absurd charges have been brought against them.

Azerbaijani media report that trials are being prepared against 14 Armenian POWs, and on similar charges

Thus, Azerbaijan brazenly ignores all calls of the international community to immediately release the Armenian captives.

Baku's actions violate the November 9, 2020 trilateral statement’s section on the exchange of all detainees.
