[KavkazUzel] The Baku Court of Appeal upheld the decision of the court of first instance, which extended the arrest of the former Minister of State of Nagorno-Karabakh Ruben Vardanyan in the case of terrorism and financing of illegal armed groups.

As the " Caucasian Knot " reported, on January 25, a court in Baku extended the arrest of the former Minister of State of Nagorno-Karabakh Ruben Vardanyan for another four months.

On October 3, 2023, it became known that the former President of Nagorno-Karabakh Arayik Harutyunyan was detained by the State Security Service of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijani pro-government media reported the detention of former presidents of the unrecognized republic Bako Sahakyan and Arkady Ghukasyan, as well as former speaker of parliament David Ishkhanyan.

Ruben Vardanyan's defense appealed the extension of his arrest. The Baku Court of Appeal reviewed the case materials. The court refused to satisfy the complaint of Vardanyan’s lawyer, leaving the decision of the court of first instance unchanged, APA news agency reported today.

Earlier, the Binagadi District Court considered petitions from the Prosecutor General's Office of Azerbaijan to extend the arrest for four months of former Nagorno-Karabakh presidents Arkady Ghukasyan, Bako Sahakyan, Arayik Harutyunyan, Nagorno-Karabakh Foreign Minister David Babayan, Chairman of the Nagorno-Karabakh Parliament David Ishkhanyan, as well as generals Leva Mnatsakanyan and David Manukyan. The court granted the department's request, Trend.az reported on January 25.

Let us remind you that Ruben Vardanyan was detained by Azerbaijani security forces on September 27, 2023 at the border while trying to leave for Armenia. In Baku, he  was charged  with financing terrorism, creating illegal armed groups and illegally crossing the Azerbaijani border.
