Erik Beglaryan, the attorney of Azerbaijani saboteur Dilham Askerov,
will petition to the Chamber of Appeals of the Supreme Court of the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) by no later than April 10, and
challenge the rulings handed down by the two lower courts.
Beglaryan told about the aforesaid to Armenian News-NEWS.am.
The attorney informed that he had discussed this matter with Askerov,
and the latter had decided to make such an appeal.
"And when the [Chamber of] Appeals will make a decision, this decision
will enter into force, [and] my client will petition to [NKR]
President Bako Sahakyan [for a pardon]," Erik Beglaryan added.
To note, Arkadi Israyelyan, the attorney of the other Azerbaijani
saboteur, Shahbaz Guliyev, likewise will petition to the Chamber of
Appeals of the NKR Supreme Court.
As reported earlier, Azerbaijani sabotage and intelligence-gathering
team member Dilham Askerov was charged with espionage; unauthorized
border trespass; kidnapping and violence against a minor, committed by
an organized group; murder committed by an organized group motivated
by ethnic hatred; and attempt of murder of two persons, committed by
an organized group, motivated by ethnic hatred. The other team member,
Shahbaz Guliyev, on the other hand, was charged with espionage;
unauthorized border trespass; kidnapping and violence against a minor,
committed by an organized group; and murder committed by an organized
group motivated by ethnic hatred.
On December 29, 2014, the First Instance General Jurisdiction Court of
the NKR had sentenced Askerov and Guliyev to life and 22 years,
respectively, in prison.
The saboteur's attorneys, however, had appealed these sentences. But
on March 10, the NKR Court of Appeal upheld the earlier court verdict.
