Ruben Vardanyan has been charged with financing terrorism and other crimes.
BAKU: An Azerbaijani court today placed former Nagorno-Karabakh separatist leader Ruben Vardanyan in pre-trial detention, after charging him with financing terrorism and other crimes.
A Baku court ruled that Vardanyan, a businessman who headed the ethnic Armenian region from November 2022 until February this year, should be arrested and placed in pre-trial detention for four months, Azerbaijan’s state security service said. Vardanyan has also been charged with creating an illegal armed organisation, according to the charge sheet presented by the security service.Azerbaijan has agreed to allow separatists who lay down their weapons to leave for Armenia under the terms of a ceasefire deal reached last Wednesday.
But an Azerbaijani government source told AFP that border guards were also looking for “war crime” suspects who had to face prosecution. Armenian prime minister Nikol Pashinyan today accused Azerbaijani border guards of “conducting illegal arrests” of ethnic Armenians trying to flee Nagorno-Karabakh.
