During an ongoing trial at the Baku Military Court, defendant Levon Mnatsakanyan confirmed his involvement in the occupation of Azerbaijan’s sovereign territories.
Mnatsakanyan stated that he had served for many years as a battalion commander, division commander, and artillery chief in the separatist entity.
In response to questions from state prosecutors, the defendant admitted that he participated in the occupation of Azerbaijani territories as part of a military unit led by Samvel Karapetyan. “I engaged in combat operations in Aghdam, Jabrayil, Aghdara, Fuzuli, and other areas,” he said.
