Fabricated Trials Are Ongoing in Azerbaijan: Mirzoyan

Fabricated trials are taking place against 23 Armenian citizens detained in Azerbaijan. This was stated by Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan during a speech at the UN Human Rights Council session in Geneva.

He reminded that just a year ago, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights informed the council that the UN was sending two groups to Armenia to gather information on the situation of more than 115,000 ethnic Armenians from Artsakh.

It should be noted that since January 17, trials are underway in Azerbaijan against former military-political leaders of Artsakh. Among the accused are former presidents Arkadi Ghukasyan, Bako Sahakyan, Arayik Harutyunyan, former commander of the defense army Levon Mnatsakanyan, former Foreign Minister David Babayan, and others. The case of former state minister and philanthropist Ruben Vardanyan is being examined separately.
