Thus, he was drafted from the military commissariat in Gyumri in November: "We were armed there and came to Lachin at night. We passed the Russian peacekeepers. They left us unchecked. Then we climbed the mountain. Our commander was Arsen Kazaryan. We were divided into groups and provided with food. On December 13, we were instructed to go down the mountain. When we fell, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces detained us; we surrendered our weapons to them."
Answering the prosecutor's questions, he said that he served in the military in the Khojaly region of Azerbaijan in 2016-2018: "I knew that those territories belonged to Azerbaijan. However, we did not question orders, because we were a soldier. My commander was Kazaryan, but after we were divided into groups, we were commanded by Avakyan Grach Arzumanovich.

Members of the illegal armed formation illegally entered the Azerbaijani territory, took a position in the forests in the Khojavand region’s Hadrut village, and committed terrorist, subversive, and other criminal actions against the Azerbaijani military personnel and civilians. The members of these armed formations illegally crossed Azerbaijan’s state border on November 26-27, 2020. As an organized group, they took up combat positions in the forest and other areas in the north-western part of the Khojavand region’s Hadrut village.
They attacked enterprises, institutions, and organizations, or individuals, organized explosions, committed arsons, or other terrorist acts posing a threat to the life and health of people, capable of causing significant property damage or leading to other socially dangerous consequences, intending to disrupt public safety, sowing panic among the population or influencing decision-making by the state authorities of Azerbaijan or international organizations.
The formation members were disarmed in the State Security Service’s (SSS) anti-terrorist operation on December 13, 2020, after the announcement of a ceasefire agreed upon by Azerbaijan, Russia, and Armenia in a trilateral statement made on November 10, 2020. The preliminary investigation into the criminal case against them, initiated by the Investigation Department of the SSS, has been completed.
Members of the illegal armed formation Avakyan Grach Arzumanovich, Serobyan Gegham Samvelovich, and others, a total of 14 accused, were charged under Articles 214.2.1, 214.2.3 of the Criminal Code of Azerbaijan (terrorism by an organized group or criminal community; with the use of firearms and objects, used as weapons), 228.3 (illegal acquisition of ammunition, explosives by an organized group), 279.2 (attacks on enterprises, departments, organizations by an armed group) and 318.2 (illegal border crossing by an organized group). The investigation was completed, and its results, together with the indictment approved by the Deputy Prosecutor General of the Republic of Azerbaijan, were submitted to the court for consideration.
