Life imprisonment of an Azerbaijani army soldier in Armenia contradicts international law. Sabina Aliyeva

"Imprisonment of a serviceman of the Azerbaijani army based on false accusations, as well as increasing the punishment in the form of life imprisonment, contradicts the norms and principles of international law," Azerbaijan's ombudsman Sabina Aliyeva stated about this, according to "Report", regarding the case against the Azerbaijani serviceman by Armenia. with the tightening of the prescribed sentence.

"Despite our appeals in this matter, Armenia continues to grossly violate the requirements of international law. Apart from that, this provocative step of Armenia seriously hinders the signing of a peace agreement between the two countries and the work aimed at establishing stable peace in the region. I declare once again that the Armenian side should take necessary actions to immediately release the illegally imprisoned servicemen of the Azerbaijani army Husein Akhundov and Aghshin Babirov and return them to our country," Aliyeva said.

It should be noted that today not only Armenians kidnapped from Artsakh, but also servicemen illegally kidnapped from the sovereign territory of Armenia are in Azerbaijani prisons.
