The person who was extradited by the Armenian side to Azerbaijan was serving his sentence in Vardashen Penitentiary; he was convicted of crossing the border illegally, Dejavu reported on its Telegram channel.
"They exchanged the 5 Armenian captives with Anar Giasi Mammadov, who was serving his sentence in Vardashen Penitentiary since March 14, 2020, under [the Criminal Code] Article 329, Section 1: illegal crossing of the state border. It is clearly shown in the datalex.am [judicial information] website that the appellate decision on Mammadov's case has entered into legal force and is specified—the detention remains unchanged. It is interesting on what basis, by what legal act they released Anar Mammadov, especially why they are keeping the fact of his extradition a secret," Dejavu stated.
