Azerbaijan to Hold Showcase Trial Against Former Artsakh Commander in Madrid: Human Rights Expert

Azerbaijani authorities plan a showcase trial against the former commander-in-chief of Artsakh’s armed forces in Madrid, according to human rights expert Siranush Sahakyan. The trial aims to discredit former leaders but may harm Azerbaijan’s credibility. It began six months ago, with local lawyers representing Azerbaijani interests. Sahakyan argues that Azerbaijan bears responsibility for crimes against humanity if it uses its civilian population as a weapon.
