STEPANAKERT. – Seyran Sargsyan, a resident of Chartar village of the Martuni region of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), was killed on December 3 by the Azerbaijani armed forces in the administrative area of the aforesaid village, the Artsakh Prosecutor's Office reports.

In connection with the incident, the Azerbaijani side had presented an untrue version that Artsakh citizen Seyran Sargsyan had allegedly attacked the Azerbaijani military position, during which he was purportedly neutralized a few meters away from the Azerbaijani military position.

The results of the actions taken in the criminal case on the incident, however, prove that Sargsyan was killed by a long-range shot, after which the Azerbaijani military had moved his body from the neutral zone to their combat position. This is evidenced also by the results of the examination of videos recorded by video surveillance devices located near the scene.

The circumstances revealed in the recent criminal cases reaffirm the fact that the Azerbaijani military bases located in the vicinity of the peaceful settlements of Artsakh pose an immediate and real threat to the life and other vital rights of the community civilian population.
