Photos show ex-Artsakh leader's arrest by Azerbaijan
Photos showing the arrest of Artsakh’s former President Arayik Harutyunyan have been posted on Azerbaijani Telegram channels.
He was arrested by Azerbaijan's State Security Service and taken to Baku on Tuesday. Earlier in the same day, Azerbaijani media reported the arrests of the two former Artsakh presidents, Bako Sahakyan and Arkady Ghukasyan, as well as parliament speaker David Ishkhanyan.
Artsakh’s former State Minister Ruben Vardanyan, former Foreign Minister David Babayan, former army commander Levon Mnatsakanyan and his ex-deputy David Manukyan were detained by Azerbaijani authorities last week.
The Armenian Foreign Ministry denounced the arrests of Artsakh officials in a statement on Wednesday.
