In the absence of independent media, lawyers and international structures, the mock trial in the case of the former military and political leaders of Artsakh and other prisoners continued today in the court of Baku.
Davit Ishkhanyan, the former speaker of Artsakh National Assembly, demanded from the court to present the copies of the documents signed by Kamo Vardanyan, the former Minister of Defense of the Republic of Armenia. The presiding judge Z. Agaev responded that the study of the documents continues, the printed versions will be transferred to their lawyers.
The accusation of false torture against Levon Mnatsakanyan, the former Minister of Defense of Artsakh, continued. This time, Ilham Mamedov answered the questions of the former military-political leadership of Artsakh. The Azerbaijani could not clearly answer the question of when and for what reasons he was granted a disability group, he only said that he was tortured and injured in captivity. Levon Mnatsakanyan said that at the next court session he will tell in detail about the events that took place at that time and continued to claim that he does not know Ilham Mammadov.
The Baku court examined documents related to the volunteer squads of the period from 1990 to the 44-day war, including "Crusaders", "Malatia Volunteers", "Mush", "Arabo", "Sasna Tsrer", "Sasuntsi David", "Volunteer Militia-Political Unit of the Independence Army", "Yerkrapah". The "court" session will continue tomorrow.
