Azerbaijan, Baku, 16 April / corr TrendNews K.Zarbaliyeva / An
ethnic Armenian, who resided in Azerbaijan, brought an action against
Azerbaijan at the European Court, Chingiz Asgarov, plenipotentiary
representative of Azerbaijan at the European Court for Human Rights,
said in talks with journalists on 16 April.
Asgarov said that an Armenian, who resided in Gulustan village of
Goranboy District, appealed to the European Court in connection with
his replacement from his house in 1992 and demands restoration of
his property right as specified by the European Convention.
Asgraov said that the European Court took the case into consideration
and has commenced correspondence in this respect. "We have submitted
to the European Court all the materials testifying that appeals are
groundless," he said.
According to Asgarov, the European Court will not take any decision
against Azerbaijan in this respect.
At present, Azerbaijan and the European Court are in contacts on
35 appeals. Most of them are linked with the violation of fair
investigation, rights for respect of personality and family life,
freedom of assembly and unions.
In the near future, the European Court is not expected to adopt any
decision against Azerbaijan, he said.
So far the European Court has taken 11 decisions against Azerbaijan.
