The Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic of Azerbaijan, together with relevant government agencies, continues to take necessary measures to once again expose the aggressive nature of the Republic of Armenia at the international level.
Eurasia Diary reports citing The Prosecutor General's Office that, a criminal case has been launched against the "VoMa" armed group established for terrorist purposes in the occupied territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Following up these measures, it was established that Vladimir Vartanov, a citizen of the Republic of Armenia, and others by involving citizens of other countries of different nationalities living outside the Republic of Armenia, created armed association "VoMa" ("Voxj Mnalu Arvest" - The Art of Survival) consisting of such persons, which is not provided by the legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Holding trainings for members of the association for the purpose of terrorism, they committed terrorist acts in the occupied territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan as part of that armed association. On the basis of materials received from the State Security Service (SSS) on these and other criminal acts, an investigation was conducted by the Investigation Department of the Prosecutor General's Office.
The investigation found that, in 2014, Vladimir Vartanov and others established a militarized organization called “VoMa” in the territory of the Republic of Armenia to commit terrorist acts against the Republic of Azerbaijan and its citizens. Using Internet resources, they recruited citizens of foreign countries of Armenian descent, as well as members of Asala, PKK and other terrorist organizations to join “VoMa”. They organized their participation in military exercises and united as a criminal association within the "Mountain Rifle Reserve Battalion" ("VoMA Battalion").
Given that the involvement of mercenaries and terrorists in the occupying army of the Republic of Armenia, which supports terrorism at the state level and turned terrorism into one of the main tools of its aggressive policy, is contrary to international law, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic of Azerbaijan urges international organizations to take all necessary measures and to impose sanctions against the occupier country within the international law.
