Davit Ishkhanyan: Annexation of Karabakh to Armenia was a strategic goal

Baku, April 3, AZERTAC
During the ongoing trial at the Baku Military Court on April 3, defendant Davit Ishkhanyan responded to questions from state prosecutors regarding the reasons behind the Armenian military aggression against Azerbaijan.
Ishkhanyan, an active member of the "Dashnakcutyun" party, stated: “I cannot talk about that particular period because I was very young at the time. However, as I grew older, I understood what the strategic goals and principles were. The strategic goal was the annexation of Karabakh to Armenia.”
The trial of Armenian citizens accused of crimes against peace and humanity, war crimes—including waging an aggressive war, genocide, violations of the laws and customs of war—terrorism, financing terrorism, violent seizure of power, and other serious offenses will continue on April 4.
