"Summary"

---

In 2025, a series of court trials are set to take place in Baku, Azerbaijan, targeting Armenians detained by the regime following the 2020 war and the forced deportation of 120,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh in September 2023. For nine months, the Azerbaijani government imposed a blockade, depriving Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh of basic human rights. The blockade culminated in bombardments, the forced displacement of the entire Armenian population, and the incarceration of their leaders and civilians—tactics chillingly reminiscent of the 1915 Armenian Genocide.
