Trial continues for Armenian saboteur
By Mushvig Mehdiyev
The next session on the criminal case of the Armenian saboteur, Arsen Bagdasaryan, was held in the court of heavy crimes of the Azerbaijani city of Ganja on April 27.
The testimonies of several victims were heard, and documents attached to the criminal case were presented during the session.
According to the results of forensic and psychological investigation, Bagdasaryan has not suffered any disorder linked to his health and psyche while crossing over the Azerbaijani border.
It was revealed throughout the trial that the mines found with Bagdasaryan came from a plant located in Armenia's Kirovokan region.
The next trial session has been scheduled for May 4.
Bagdasaryan, a member of an Armenian saboteur group, was captured by Azerbaijani servicemen in the Aghdam district, as he crossed the Armenia-Azerbaijan contact line in a provocative move, on December 26, 2014. After being taken hostage, he was subsequently handed over to the authorities to be charged for the crimes he committed.
A criminal case against the Armenian saboteur was filed upon articles 29,120.2.7, 29,120.2.12 and 29,282.2 of the Azerbaijani Criminal Code.
Azerbaijan's internationally recognized Nagorno-Karabakh territory has become a conflict zone following Armenia's aggression in the early 1990s. As a result of Armenia's armed invasion, 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory fell under Armenia's occupation. Although the OSCE has attempted to foster a peaceful resolution to this conflict Armenia has remained persistent in its aggressive stance.
