ARMENIANS INTEND CLAIM AGAINST AZERBAIJAN AT EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS
Yesterday the philanthropic friendly association Shahumian-Getashen spread a statement, which specifically says, "Residents of Shahumian and Getashen regions, who were deported by force, intend to claim against Azerbaijan at the European Court of Human Rights." The matter concerns territories, which are today controlled by the Azerbaijani troops. The suit will specifically claim against violation of the right of the deported residents for property protection and respect of habitation. The Union has expressed readiness to defend in authoritative international instances the interests of thousands of Armenian families, who suffered from Azerbaijan's aggression in 1991.
