HAYKAKAN ZHAMANAK: EUROPEAN COURT TO FACE NO MORE RESTRAINTS BECAUSE OF ARMENIA
10:06 ~U 25.09.13
The Armenian and Russian presidents' joint decision on the Customs
Union membership is expected to seriously affect the European Court
of Human Rights' (ECtHR) conduct.
The lawyers involved in the cases sent to the court from Armenia
have reportedly admitted in non-public speeches that the European
institutions, including the ECtHR, were in a somewhat uncomfortable
situation until September 3, the day the landmark statement was made.
The problem, according to the paper, is that ECtHR rulings on the
March 1 post-election clashes in Yerevan would by all means have a
political context if the European integration process continued.
"In absolutely all the cases, it would be confirmed that the Armenian
courts incriminated and convicted innocent people. And thise people
would be acquitted under the European Court's rulings, with all
the consequences arising therefrom. On the other hand, [President]
Serzh Sargsyan launched a 'European integration' processes following
the March 1 [tragedy], thus managing to have the Europeans close the
chapter on the March 1. It is, probably, due to this that five years
after the tragedy, no ruling has been passed over the cases sent to
the European Court," the paper comments.
