BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 6. A court hearing was held on February 6 in the case of individuals of Armenian origin accused of committing numerous crimes against the Azerbaijani people, Trend reports.
During the hearing, Arayik Harutyunyan dismissed as false the claims circulating in the Armenian media about the use of psychotropic drugs on the defendants.
"In the detention center, we had the opportunity to receive information and express protest. Also, the conditions of our detention are constantly discussed in the Armenian media and other media. As far as I understand, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia states that psychological pressure is exerted on us, and psychotropic drugs are also used," he said.
A. Harutyunyan added that he is familiar with the law on detention conditions.
"All laws are observed in the detention center, the International Committee of the Red Cross periodically visits us. We have the opportunity to make phone calls to our family members. In the detention center, our attitude is ensured in accordance with the law, and we are treated within the framework of the law. Our rights were ensured by the investigators and during the investigation. Lawyers always participated in the investigation. I would especially like to note that there was no pressure on us. During the investigation, we were always treated within the framework of the law. Thank you," he said.
