Armenia submitted 10 demands against Azerbaijan to International  Court of Justice - Kirakosyan

ArmInfo. Armenia submitted 10 demands to the International Court of Justice, including Azerbaijan's  refusal to take punitive measures against current and former political figures of the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army and military personnel of the Artsakh Defense Army.  Yeghishe Kirakosyan, representative of Armenia on International Legal Affairs stated in an interview with the RA Public Television.

Regarding the possibility of releasing the kidnapped Artsakh  politicians, Kirakosyan noted that this is not the first time that  Baku has captured people from Armenia and Artsakh. "They are accused  of various crimes. By the same logic, we can conclude that the  politicians and military personnel of the Artsakh Defense Army will  suffer the same fate," Kirakosyan said.

He expressed hope that the court would impose a ban on Baku's  behavior, although Kirakosyan does not particularly hope for a  corresponding verdict from the UN court.

"The likelihood of release is low, I have no reason to believe that  the court will make such a decision. I'm talking not only about the  international court, but also about the ECHR. Unfortunately, the  courts do not interfere in the affairs of Azerbaijan and do not force  it to release previously captured persons. All that remains is to  file a claim to guarantee the rights of these persons and to prevent  illegal processes to the maximum extent,"  the RA Representative on  International Legal Affairs said.
