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.
