Shahumian Residents to File Suit in European Court of Human Rights
A complaint against Azerbaijan is being prepared for submission to the
European Court of Human Rights on behalf of the former residents of
the region of Shahumian and the subregion of Getashen who were
forcibly deported. We are speaking about the regions which in 1991-92
were at the heart of the conflict and today are under Azerbaijani
control.
The complaint addresses specifically the violation of the rights of
those residents to the peaceful enjoyment of their possessions (stated
in Article 1 of the First Protocol of the European Convention of Human
Rights) and the violation of their rights to respect for their homes
(stated in Article 8 of the Convention).
The Shahumyan-Getashen Patriotic Benevelont Association expresses its
readiness to protect, in all legal international forums, the rights of
the thousands of Armenian families who suffered from Azerbaijan's
aggression, unleashed in 1991.
