Former NA deputy, lawyer Aram Vardevanyan writes.
"Humanity is a universal, universal value, but it does not apply to Azerbaijan.
For more than 470 days, our Artsakh, our presidents, Bako Sahakyan, Arkady Ghukasyan and other compatriots are being held hostage.
I am sure that each of us felt indescribable anxiety and pain after the message of Ruben Vardanyan, who is in the same inhumane situation.
The incipient "trial" is not jurisprudence, it is a mockery of minimum humanitarian norms and internationally recognized norms, but the international community is silent.
There has not been another situation of similar inhuman degree in any other "member" of the Council of Europe, but the Council of Europe is silent.
Once pursued by the most serious charges by the international community, even Augusto Pinochet was chosen to be under house arrest abroad, and his homeland, Chile, demanded his return and secured it.
It is tragic that we are in this reality, it is tragic the silence of the international community, it is absurd that the interests of our countrymen are not protected in any way by the officials of the day who are endowed with this duty. Universal values cannot disappear, they simply cannot.
