Armenia’s Criminal Court of Appeal upheld the complaint of the legal successors of the security guard of the enterprise, Hayrapet Meliksetyan.

On April 10, the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense announced that servicemen of the Azerbaijani army Agshin Babirov (born 2004) and Huseyn Akhundov (born 2003) disappeared due to limited visibility in adverse weather conditions on the territory of the Shahbuz region of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic on the border with Armenia.
