David Davtyan and Gevorg Sudjyan were sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment. The defendants pleaded guilty only to illegal crossing of the border of Azerbaijan. Gevorg Sudjyan claimed that he visited Nagorno-Karabakh for humanitarian purposes.

The citizens of Armenia were accused of illegal possession of weapons, espionage, participation in an illegal armed formation, and illegal border crossing, the “Trend” reports.

According to the prosecutors’ version, in 2019, David Davtyan and Gevorg Sudjyan began cooperating with the Armenian secret services. In September 2020, they allegedly entered Azerbaijan, joined an illegal armed formation (IAF), and bought weapons and ammunition. David Davtyan and Gevorg Sudjyan collected the information about the positions of the Azerbaijani army in the territories where battles were taking place, about the number of military personnel, and other data, which they then passed on to the Armenian secret services. On November 11, 2020, the suspects were detained by the Azerbaijani armed forces.

The office of the Ombudsman of Armenia reported that Gevorg Sudjyan, the head of the charitable public organization “New Armenia Motherland-Diaspora”, and his friend David were captured. During the war, Gevorg Sudjyan provided humanitarian assistance to the population of Karabakh, and after the end of the combat actions, he decided to familiarize himself with the situation on the spot.

David Davtyan and Gevorg Sudjyan pleaded partially guilty to the charge of illegally crossing the state border of Azerbaijan.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
