Baku Court Rejects Lawyer's Appeal: Ruben Vardanyan to Remain in Detention

The Baku court has left former Artsakh State Minister Ruben Vardanyan in detention. As reported by local media, the court rejected the appeal filed by lawyer Afat Gaziyeva, which aimed to change the measures of restraint for her client.
