November 19, 2011 | 15:16
YEREVAN. - The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) once again ruled
against the Government of Armenia, and therefore the Government will
have to pay 18,500 Euros as compensation to former residents of
capital Yerevan's 17 Buzand Street, who had become victims of eminent
domain.
These residents, namely Hovhannes and Astghik Hovhannisyan and their
daughter, Liana Shiroyan, were forcibly evicted from their homes, on
December 30, 2005, because of eminent domain, their attorney Vahe
Grigoryan informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.
In his words, the ECHR recognized the violation of their property
rights and ruled in favor of compensation, on Tuesday. So, the
Armenian government has to pay the aforesaid amount within three
months of the ruling.
`I am informed of around twenty such cases which are still being
examined. Three of them were approved, in terms of property rights,
and two have received compensation. The last one was18,500 Euros, and
the previous one, I believe, was around 14,000 Euros,' Vahe Grigoryan
also noted.
According to Grigoryan, all three cases which ECHR approved referred
to the state's expropriation of private property to construct
Yerevan's Northern and Main Avenues.
To note, the Court had ruled that Article 1 of Protocol 1 of the
European Convention on Human Rights was violated.
