Vardanyan Issues Statement on Decision to Dismiss Attorney
Ruben Vardanyan announced his decision to dismiss his attorney in Baku, Avraam Berman.
In a statement, he explained that his decision was due to the Azerbaijani legal system’s blatant disregard for fairness, not his attorney's efforts or abilities.
“During the court hearing on October 21, I announced my decision to dismiss my attorney, Avraam Berman. The blatant violations of international and Azerbaijani legal standards throughout the ongoing proceedings have turned the hearings into an outright farce. Under these circumstances, all procedural opportunities for the defense have been exhausted over the past months. I was not allowed to review the case materials or the indictment.”
Author's summary: Vardanyan dismisses attorney due to unfair legal system.
