We have not seen the verdicts of former Artsakh leaders put on paper and published in any language: Sarig Armenyan

The former leaders of Artsakh are not Aliyev’s prisoners but rather hostages, as Azerbaijan has turned their trial into a tool of hostage diplomacy. This was stated by lawyer and public figure Sarig Armenyan in a live broadcast on Alpha News.

“All verdicts against the leaders have already been handed down, yet not a single one has been published on paper in any language. We have also not seen the charges, which would allow us to defend them or at least give them the opportunity to defend themselves. This constitutes a legal violation and confirms that the Azerbaijani court is not a real court,” she noted.

According to Armenyan, the imprisonment of the former Artsakh leaders has become a kind of prize for Aliyev, through which he punishes the entire Armenian people.

“As long as these people have not returned to Armenia, we cannot speak of peace. What peace can there be when the rights of our compatriots are being trampled in Baku? The entire Armenian people must fight for them,” Armenyan concluded.
