Vardanyan stated that he refuses to ‘participate in the farce’ or to ‘legitimise’ his 20-year sentence.
The trial of former Nagorno-Karabakh State Minister Ruben Vardanyan lasted more than a year.

A documentary on Ruben Vardanyan by Azerbaijan’s AnewZ included prominent experts and Armenians, but why did they agree to take part?
The former Karabakh leader said he was ‘dissatisfied with the course of the trial’.

The motions submitted by Vardanyan were either rejected or left unconsidered.
The lawyer's statement followed Vardanyan’s latest court session, which saw witnesses testify about alleged committed crimes.

The two witnesses are believed to have ‘mental stability issues’.
