/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In protest against the adoption of resolutions on
the Armenian Genocide by parliaments of different states of the world,
the Bahcesehir University has prepared a million of appeals to be
sent to the European Court of Human Rights. According to university
rector Suleyh Batum, "struggle should be led in political field for
a while yet".
"Unfortunately, political influence of other states is felt in
Turkey. That is why Turkey has to step on the juridical platform. Our
state has a strong instrument – the European Treaty and the Court of
Human Rights.
The aspiration to prevent Turkey from expressing reaction on historical
and not grounded as genocide events is a limitation of human rights. We
have prepared 1 million of application forms for the European Court of
Human Rights over the decisions taken by the parliaments of Argentina,
Russia, Switzerland and other states. We will garner signatures of
people throughout the globe and send them to the European Court of
Human Rights," Batum said, reports Azeri Press.
