Azerbaijan's military court docket

Judging by this account, the military court in Azerbaijan seems to have quite a full docket, including war crimes allegations as well as corruption cases. Excerpt:

Some 297 suspected members of illegal Armenian armed groups, who committed war crimes against Azerbaijanis, as well as crimes against peace and humanity, have been charged under articles 103 (genocide), 113 (torture), 115 (violation of the laws and customs of war), and 116 (breaching norms of international humanitarian law during an armed conflict) of the Azerbaijani Criminal Code.

One does wonder why corruption cases (seemingly involving civilians) belong in a military forum.
