The trial of the Azeri raiders must take place in Nagorno-Karabakh
as the crime was committed there. As far as Armenia is concerned, it
may just provide support in the matter, former Human Rights Defender
of Armenia Larisa Alaverdyan told journalists on Wednesday.
She believes that as far as human rights are concerned, it would be
better if ICRC representatives met with the raiders. "If Azerbaijan
refuses to bear responsibility for them, they cannot be regarded as
POWs. They crossed the border of a state and committed a crime in
its territory, so, they must be tried according to the local laws,"
Alaverdyan said, noting that according to Nagorno-Karabakh's laws,
such criminals may face life in jail.
She urged mass media and social networks not to criticize
Nagorno-Karabakh's army as the contact line between Nagorno- Karabakh
and Azerbaijan does not have either a wall or even a barbed wire to
divide the sides.
Last week Nagorno-Karabakh's troops prevented an Azeri raid on
Karvachar. Some of the raiders were killed, two - Gulin Shahbaz
Jalaloglu and Dilhan Gardashhan - were detained and are now facing
criminal charges.
