Baku court discussing Ruben Vardanyan’s illegal custody term extension

A motion has been put to the court of Baku calling for the extension of the term of the preventive measure imposed on former State Minister of Artsakh, businessman and philanthropist Ruben Vardanyan, the Azerbaijani media reports.
