Azerbaijani citizens have brought some 500 suits against Armenia
to the European Court of Human Rights since 1992, according to an
Armenian official.
"Legal proceedings were initiated on two suits. The Armenian government
participates in the hearings as a third party," said Gevorg Kostanyan,
the Armenian Deputy Justice Minister and representative to the European
Court of Human Rights.
"Presently, European judges consider two suits of Armenian refugees
and one suit of an Azeri refugee.
Meanwhile, the court obliges the Armenian refugees to appeal first to
Azeri courts, what is provided by internationally-recognized legal
norms. However, if the procedure is impossible, the plaintiff is
exempted from the obligation," Kostanyan said, IA Regnum reports.
