About 30 militants wanted

16.11.2009 17:45

The Armenian Prosecutor General’s Office had applied to the Prosecutor’s Office of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, asking to provide information about the criminal cases launched on the crimes against humanity committed in Nagorno Karabakh in 1990s.

According to the data obtained from the NKR Prosecutor’s Office, different criminal cases were launched between 1990 and 1992 on genocide, terrorism and crimes against humanity. The investigation confirmed a number of cases of terrorism committed by Azerbaijani militants.

In particular, it was proved that on April 10, at 7 a.m. terrorist groups committed criminal actions targeted at the physical extermination of the Armenian nation in Maragha village (Martakert region) with the support of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Azerbaijan, as a result of which 60 civilians were killed, another 70 were taken hostage.

Employees of the special police departments of the Ministry of Interior of Azerbaijan committed terrorist acts against Armenians in a number of settlement, namely Martakert, Kichan, Arajadzor, Seysulan, Jayntagh and Mirbashi.

The law enforcement bodies of Nagorno Karabakh confirmed the identity of some of the militants. More than 30 of them are now wanted for crimes against humanity, terrorist acts, and murders. According to some information, the criminals hide in Azerbaijan.

Several of the immediate perpetrators of the terrorist acts in Arajadzor village of Nagorno Karabakh were found. They were sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment, but were actually set free, since the Azerbaijani leadership expressed willingness to exchange them for a few Armenian civilians taken hostage by Azeris. The civilians were exchanged for criminals, who were later set free in Azerbaijan.
