    RA REPRESENTATIVE TO ECOHR: AZERBAIJANI OFFICIALS MAKE ABSURD STATEMENTS

    The European Court of Human Rights (ECoHR) has decided to consider
    in essence the lawsuits Chiragov v. Armenia and Sargsyan and Others v.

    Azerbaijan. ECoHR made this decision on December 14, 2011.

    RA Representative to ECoHR Gevorg Kostanyan told a Panorama.am
    reporter that ECoHR made this decision because "on both lawsuits,
    there are still some facts and circumstances which lack proper
    evidence, and this prevents the court from passing a final decision
    at this stage." According to Kostanyan, now the court will consider
    the lawsuits in essence.

    Chiragov v. Armenia lawsuit has been filed by a family, and Armenian
    refugees have filed more than 700 lawsuits against Azerbaijan.

    Kostanyan noted that in case ECoHR passes a resolution on the above
    mentioned two lawsuits, it will create a legal precedent for other
    lawsuits, too.

    Kostanyan said the statements by Azerbaijani official sources that
    allegedly ECoHR has satisfied the lawsuit of Azerbaijani refugees
    against Armenia are absurd.

    "They are at least absurd and strange," he stressed.

    The upper chamber of the European Court of Human Rights considered
    the lawsuits Chiragov v. Armenia and Sargsyan and Others v. Azerbaijan
    simultaneously and held simultaneous hearings on both cases in 2010,
    and based on them, on December 14, 2011, made a decision to consider
    the applications on both lawsuits.
