The verdict of Vigen Euljekjian, captured by Azerbaijan in Nagorno Karabakh, was announced on 14 June in the Yasamal District Court of Baku. Azerbaijani websites write about this.
He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Lebanese-Armenian Vigen Elchekjian is charged with three counts of “participating in an armed conflict as a mercenary,” “terrorism,” and “crossing the border illegally.”
It should be reminded that on 27 September, 2020, Azerbaijan provoked a war against Artsakh. Early in the morning, the whole territory of Artsakh, including the capital Stepanakert, was bombed.
It should be noted that the Syrian citizens took part in the hostilities unleashed by Azerbaijan against Artsakh as mercenaries. Two of them, Muhrab Muhammad Al-Shkheri and Youssef Alabed Al-Haji, were sentenced to life imprisonment at the Kapan residence of the Syunik Regional Court of First Instance, presided over by Judge Napoleon Ohanyan.
