The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention has issued a
\nstatement, condemning the 15-year prison sentence imposed on Vagif
\nKhachatryan.
<\/p><\/p>\n
“The Lemkin Institute exhorts the international community to
\npersuade the regime of President Aliyev into promptly releasing all Armenian
\npersons under its jurisdiction and to refrain from providing any kind of
\nassistance that could worsen the suffering of the victims of the Artsakh
\ngenocide or embolden Azerbaijan to perpetrate any unlawful act of aggression,”
\nreads the statement.
<\/p><\/p>\n
To remind, Vagif Khachatryan was abducted from the
\ncheckpoint over the Hakari bridge from the ICRC vehicle on his way to Yerevan
\nfrom Artsakh. He was coming to Armenia to undergo medical treatment.
<\/p><\/p>\n\n
Later, Azerbaijan brought serious charges against
\nKhachatryan. Although, Khachatryan did not plead guilty, he was convicted on
\ntrumped-up charges of “committing genocide” and forming “armed groups”.
