PanARMENIAN.Net - The Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human
Rights declared the applications of an Armenian national against
Azerbaijan and several families of ethnic Kurds against Armenia
admissible.
The 1st case concerns an Armenian refugee Minas Sargsyan's
complaint that he was forced to flee from his home in 1992 during
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Sargsyan died in 2009 in Yerevan. His
widow and three children are pursuing the application on his behalf.
Mr Sargsyan states that he and his family, ethnic Armenians, lived
in a two-floor house with auxiliary premises in the village of
Gulistan of the Shahumyan region, NKAO. When the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict escalated into full-scale war in 1992, Gulistan was bombed
by Azerbaijani forces and the entire population of the village,
including the applicant and his family, fled, fearing for their lives.
In the 2nd case, the families of ethnic Kurds, residing in Lachin
region, state having been forced to leave their homes during Armenian
army attack.
The Court will deliver its final judgment at a later date, BBC
Russian reported.
