BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 11. Armenian
occupation of Azerbaijani territories is an undeniable truth,
Senior Assistant to the Prosecutor General Vusal Aliyev said during
the prosecution's reply speech at the trial of 15 Armenian
citizens, Trend
reports.
According to him, although the occupation is an undeniable fact
and numerous pieces of evidence presented at the court hearing were
confirmed, this fact doesn't reduce the responsibility of the
current defendants, who are the main figures of the criminal
organization formed by Armenia, nor does it absolve them from
responsibility.
"This is because, although the numerous crimes mentioned were
committed with the organization and support of the military and
political leadership of Armenia, they were also committed with the
participation of the criminal organization that the current
defendants joined at different times. At certain times, some of the
current defendants formally took a place in the military or
political leadership of the Armenian state. In other words, in this
sense, in the context of organizing, implementing, and maintaining
the occupation, the Armenian state and the so-called organization
acted as a single organism," the public prosecutor added.
Court proceedings continue against the Armenian nationals, who
face charges related to Armenia’s military aggression against
Azerbaijan, including war crimes, crimes against humanity,
genocide, aggression, terrorism, violations of the laws and customs
of war, financing terrorism, and the violent seizure and retention
of power, among other serious offenses.
