The official structures of Armenia are growing increasingly nervous about the “Azerbaijani Nuremberg.” First, the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a special statement, meticulously repeating all the latest fake narratives of Armenian propaganda: those accused of war crimes and supporting terrorism are alternately referred to as “prisoners of war” or “hostages,” while Azerbaijan is accused of promoting “ethnic hatred,” among other things.
Then, the Secretary of Armenia’s Security Council, Armen Grigoryan, spoke to journalists on the same topic, stating that the authorities are currently working “in a somewhat different mode” and making “greater efforts” to secure the release of the defendants in Baku.
In Yerevan, they claim that the trigger was certain “photos of a visibly thinner Vardanyan,” who allegedly went on a hunger strike. But in reality, there is no doubt: what truly frightens Yerevan is the information coming to light during the trial. Most importantly, these are the details and evidence of Armenia’s aggression against Azerbaijan, which they previously tried to disguise as separatism, grandiosely termed “self-determination.” The likelihood that the “Azerbaijani Nuremberg” will raise the question of Armenia’s responsibility as a state was mentioned from the very beginning of the trial. Now, this realization is reaching Yerevan. They have understood that they will have to answer for all their “artistic creations” from the time of the 44-day war, and they are simply scared.
As a result, they are now trying to challenge the legitimacy of the Baku trial itself and its forthcoming verdict. But rest assured: this effort is doomed to failure from the start.
