From 1992 to 2023, the illegal economic activities of Armenians resulted in more than 20.9 billion manats (approx. 12.3 billion dollars) of material damage to Azerbaijan, according to the indictment in the criminal case against individuals of Armenian origin accused of committing war crimes, Azernews reports.

The report highlights that illegal exploitation of Azerbaijan’s resources—including agriculture, mineral extraction, hydropower production, retail trade, public catering, industrial production, and other sectors—contributed to these losses.

Additionally, the illegal activities of the “Frank Müller Group”, unauthorized fish caviar production, and illicit financial transactions by “Artsakhbank” Closed Joint-Stock Company were among the sources of damage.

According to the indictment, the illegal income generated from these activities was used to finance terrorism.
