The court hearing on the criminal case against Armenian citizen Ruben Vardanyan, who is accused of crimes against peace and humanity, war crimes, as well as terrorism, financing of terrorism, and other grave crimes under the articles of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan, will continue on February 10.
This information was provided to Modern.az by the Baku Military Court.
