ArmInfo. The European Court of Human Rights ruled yesterday that
Turkey had violated the property rights of two Armenian foundations
in Istanbul.
As the Turkish newspaper "Hurriyet" says, the Board of Governors
of the Samatya Surp Kevork Armenian Church, School and Cemetery and
the Foundation for the Armenian Hospital in Yedikule appealed to the
Strasbourg-based court, claiming the decisions made by the Turkish
courts, setting aside their title to property they had acquired by
donation, violated their property rights under the European Convention
on Human Rights.
The two Armenian foundations were established by Imperial Decree in
1832 under the Ottoman Empire and founded under modern Turkish law,
the newspaper says.
