How does Vardanyan's trial, with its allegations of torture and lack of due process, reflect broader issues of human rights and accountability in the context of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict?

Vardanyan's trial exemplifies the complex aftermath of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. His high-profile status and philanthropic work in Armenia contrast sharply with the war crime accusations and the Azerbaijani government's alleged disregard for international legal standards, including the recent expulsion of the International Red Cross. The peace deal's silence on the prisoners fuels criticism of the Armenian government.
