The Detention Periods of Former Artsakh Leaders and the State Minister Held in Azerbaijan Have Been Extended
The Sabail District Court of Azerbaijan recently extended the detention of former Artsakh State Minister Ruben Vardanyan. Last week, a Baku court also prolonged the detention of former Artsakh leaders Arkadi Ghukasyan, Arayik Harutyunyan, and Bako Sahakyan.
There is no information regarding the duration of the extensions, the reasons behind them, or any new charges.
The former leaders were detained at the Lachin checkpoint in September 2023.
