Shahumyan-Getashen refugees apply to European court of Human Rights
Four families who were forcibly removed from the Shahumian and Getashen
regions have formally appealed to the European Court of Human Rights.
Assisted by the Shahumyan-Getashen Benevolent Union, the Armenian
residents of Shahumian and Getashen have raised before the court
the following issues: the violation of the property rights of the
forcibly displaced families, as well as the violation of their right
that their accommodations be respected.
The Shahumyan-Getashen Patriotic Union reaffirms its readiness to
defend, in appropriate international organizations, the rights of
thousands of Armenian families who are suffering as a result of
Azerbaijan's military offensive launched in the early 1990s.
