Armenia has petitioned the European Court of Human Rights following today’s arrest of former Artsakh State Minister Ruben Vardanyan by Azerbaijan border guards.
Ruben Vardanyan took the position of Minister of State of Nagorno-Karabakh-Karabakh in 2022 and served in this position from November to February of 2023.
“Vardanyan was handed over to the relevant state bodies to make a decision regarding the detainee,” according to Azerbaijani media reports.
