In accordance with the bilateral agreement reached between Azerbaijan and Armenia and the principles of humanism, 4 people convicted under various articles of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan and serving sentences in our country - Vagif Cherkezi Khachaturyan, Gevorg Rubenovich Sujyan, David Tigrani Davtyan, and Viken Abraham Euljekjian - were extradited to Armenia.

Although information about the objective reasons for this step was disseminated, discussions on social media suggested that the individuals currently undergoing trial would also eventually be extradited to Armenia.

According to information obtained by APA from government sources, there is no such possibility.

"These possibilities are an illusion. There is no possibility that the leaders of the junta and other individuals who committed crimes against the Azerbaijani people will be released or extradited to Armenia," the government source said.

Another government official firmly expressed the same opinion to the agency: "They will answer for the criminal acts they committed and will be punished in the most severe form after their guilt is proven."
