YEREVAN. - No money is required as compensation in Armenian
First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan's petition submitted to the
European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), and with respect to Armenia's
presidential elections held on February 19, 2008, the First President's
representative at the European Court (EC), attorney Vahe Grigoryan
told Haykakan Zhamanak daily.
"According to the lawyer, he informed the First President that in
such cases the European Court usually consents to the requirements of
compensating for moral and material damage, but the First President's
sole requirement was for the recognition of the fact that Armenia has
violated the rights specified by the [European] Convention on Human
Rights, which Armenia had assumed.
'Recognition of the violation of Convention rights is a fair and
adequate compensation for the First President,' the attorney said.
This petition was submitted to EC in August 2008. Examination of the
petition commenced in May of this year. [And] The ruling on this case
could be made public before [Armenia's] presidential elections to be
held in February [2013]," Haykakan Zhamanak writes.
