Kristine Vardanyan stated that the detention of Robert Kocharyan is politically motivated by revenge, not justice or the rule of law. She noted that three of the four former Republic of Artsakh presidents are currently imprisoned in Baku. Vardanyan also pointed out that Azerbaijan listed cultural artifacts from the Dadivank Monastery in Artsakh in Interpol's database of stolen art.

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The ongoing political crisis and the imprisonment of leaders in Baku raise concerns about regional stability. One report suggests that the desire of Nikol Pashinyan to resolve the Artsakh issue may be aimed at concealing failures of an eight-year policy.
