Authorities in Baku have brought charges of alleged war crimes against a 61-year-old man from Nagorno-Karabakh who, according to the Armenian side, was kidnapped by Azerbaijan weeks before its forces established full control over the region in a one-day military operation in September.
A military court in Baku sentenced an ethnic Armenian from Nagorno-Karabakh to 15 years in prison on Tuesday three months after he was arrested by Azerbaijani security services during his aborted medical evacuation to Armenia.
Three residents of Nagorno-Karabakh were set free and handed over to Armenia on Thursday ten days after being arrested at the Azerbaijani checkpoint in the Lachin corridor.
The three residents of Nagorno-Karabakh arrested on Monday at the Azerbaijani checkpoint in the Lachin corridor will be set free after serving out a 10-day “administrative arrest,” according to Azerbaijani authorities.
