    ArmInfo. The European Court of Human Rights passed six decisions on
    Azerbaijan this year. One of the decisions as come into effective,
    the other five will be effective next year. The total sum of the fines
    imposed on Azerbaijan is ? 50,000 - 60,000. Azerbaijan's authorized
    representative in the European Court of Human Rights Chingiz Asgarov
    told journalists, APA reports.

    "Six decisions concern freedom of peaceful assembly envisaged in
    article 11 of the Convention, right to a fair trial envisaged in
    article 6 and article 3 prohibiting torture, and inhuman or degrading
    treatment or punishment," he said. Chingiz Asgarov said the Chamber of
    the European Court considered the appeals of Azerbaijani IDPs against
    Armenia. "The Chamber decided that the issue should be considered
    in the Grand Chamber. It will be considered in the Chamber panel of
    17 judges. The hearing will be held. The process will probably last
    till the end of next year," he said.

    The authoritarian dynasty of the Aliyevs and enforcement of Haydar
    Aliyev's cult of personality on the own people have already resulted
    in the situation when 20% of the Azerbaijan population are ready to
    leave their country. At least, such are the results of the public
    opinion poll conducted by Gallup. This indicator in Armenia is 10%,
    Gallup poll says. The situation in Georgia is worse than in Armenia
    (15%).

    Earlier Gevorg Kostanyan, assistant to the president of Armenia,
    representing Armenia at the European Court of Human Rights, said
    Azerbaijani citizens have made nearly 700 appeals against Armenia
    versus over 1000 appeals by the Armenian citizens and refuges against
    Azerbaijan. In the period from 1988 up to 1991 nearly 400,000 Armenians
    were forcefully deported from Baku, Sumgait, Mingechaur, Kirovabad and
    other populated areas of the Azerbaijani SSR. Hundreds of Azerbaijani
    Armenians were killed during pogroms in Sumgait and Baku.
