Sham trials of Artsakh officials continue in Baku

The sham trials of Artsakh officials will continue in Azerbaijan today.

Former presidents of Artsakh Arkadi Ghukasyan, Bako Sahakyan and Arayik Harutyunyan; former parliament speaker Davit Ishkhanyan; former foreign minister David Babayan; former defense minister Levon Mnatsakanyan; General Davit Manukyan; and former state minister Ruben Vardanyan are among those unlawfully held captive in Baku.
