"On January 9, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights
declared admissible the application of six Azerbaijani nationals,
the internally displaced people from Lachin region. The court also
declared admissible the application of an Armenian national v.
Azerbaijan," Azerbaijan's authorized representative at the European
Court of Human Rights Chingiz Asgarov told journalists, APA reports.
He said the court was expected to take this step long ago.
"The European Court received the application of the Azerbaijani
nationals v. Armenia in 2005. The European Court held an open hearing
in September, 2010 and this decision was passed 16 months later. The
decisions show that Nagorno Karabakh is a part of Azerbaijan. Armenian
Armed forces together with the Nagorno Karabakh Armenians occupied
a great part of the Azerbaijani territories. As a result of it,
one million Azerbaijanis became internally displaced people. It is
also written that the area of the former Nagorno Karabakh province
was 4 000 sq km, while twice as much territory was occupied. These
are seven regions of Azerbaijan," he said.
Chingiz Asgarov also gave information about the application of the
Armenian national.
"This Armenian claims that he lived in the village of Gulustan of the
former Shaumyan, present Goranboy region. He claims that his right
of property was violated, Armenian cemeteries in Azerbaijan were
demolished. Due to evidences we submitted, the European Court rejected
this complaint. The Court considers his compliant as a drivel. Our
main argument is that the village of Gulustan is located on the line
of contact between the Azerbaijani and Armenian troops. Therefore
Azerbaijan can not secure the residence of any person there. But
the issue was decided to be considered by the court in the following
phases".
Asgarov noted that the two complaints are the matter of jurisdiction.
"We proved our rightness, but the court has not yet considered the
complaints to the point. It will assess the jurisdiction matter
when considers it to the point. The European Court should decide
that indeed Armenia has responsibility for violation of the rights
of persons from Lachin region. This is not some false issue, because
in fact, Nagorno Karabakh and around regions are under the Armenia's
control. On the other hand, the complaint against Azerbaijan is a
matter of jurisdiction. We can not secure the rights of that Armenian
man due to the fault of Armenia. If there are no Armenian armed forces
in that territory, the residence of persons can be secured. But we
can not secure the rights of that person because of presence of the
Armenian armed forces there. This is main issue".
