Four men convicted in Azerbaijan have been transferred to Armenia under a humanitarian framework, a step that officials describe as a concrete outcome of the emerging peace between the two countries.
In line with the bilateral agreement reached between Azerbaijan and Armenia, and guided by the principles of humanism, the four individuals who had been convicted under various articles of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan and were serving sentences in the country have been transferred to Armenia.
The individuals are Vagif Cherkezi Khachatryan, Gevorg Rubenovich Sujyan, David Tigrani Davtyan, and Viken Abraham Eulcekcian.
Vagif Khachtryan was one of the members of the illegal Armenian armed formations, which committed a massacre in the village of Meshali of Azerbaijan’s Khojaly district on December 22, 1991. He was charged under the article 103 (Genocide) and article 107 (Deportation or forced exile of population) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
While David Davtyan and Gevorg Sujyan were charged under Article 276 (espionage) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
This process is also one of the practical outcomes of the peace established between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
During their detention in Azerbaijan, the rights of the transferred individuals were fully ensured. Their health conditions and detention facilities met international standards.
Prior to their transfer to Armenia, the convicts underwent medical examinations, which confirmed that their health conditions were normal.
Among them, Vagif Khachatryan, whose health condition was assessed as unsatisfactory, was provided with all necessary medical assistance and remained under constant medical supervision.
