/PanARMENIAN.Net/ 30 Armenian citizens, the refugees from the
Shahumian region of NKR and Khanlar region of Azerbaijan appealed to
the European Court for receiving contribution from Baku. At present
the letters are being discussed in Strasbourg. The court is likely to
examine the issue within 2 or 3 years. To remind, the residents of
the Shahumian region of NKR, occupied by the Azeri army in 1992 with
the assistance of bribed Russian generals, were deported from their
domicile while Azeris settled in their houses. To note, this
settlement policy was set by the Azerbaijani government. The
residents of the Khanlar region were mostly deported by 1991, during
the “ring” operation carried out by the soviet army and the Azeri
OMON.
