The Nagorno-Karabakh peace process is going on within the OSCE
Minsk Group, RA Representative to the European Court of Human
Rights Gevorg Kostanyan said, responding to a question concerning an
impact the Chiragovs and others vs. Armenia case might have on the
Nagorno-Karabakh peace process.
The interference of any other institutions may complicate the hard
process within the OSCE Minsk Group. Both the Armenian Government
and the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs, which have been involved in the
peace process since 1992 and thoroughly studied the conflict, have
repeatedly stated it, Kostanyan said.
He stressed that the Chiragovs and others vs. Armenia case does not
fit the requirements of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)
and is not to be considered by the European Court of Human Rights, as
the territories indicated in the claim are under Nagorno-Karabakh's
control. Nevertheless, the Armenian Government responded to the
European Court's inquiry and provided explanations as the second party
to the claim lodged against Azerbaijan. Specifically, the explanations
provided to the European
Court of Human Rights contain the NKR authorities' comment as well.
On September 15, the European Court of Human Rights is considering
two claims. The first claim was lodged by the Sargsyan family, who
had to leave the village of Gyulistan, Shahumyan region, in June
1992. In their claim, the Sargsyan family pointed out that Azerbaijan
is responsible for the destruction of cultural monuments and cemeteries
in the village.
The other claim was lodged by the Chiragov family.
