RA CITIZEN AT EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS
08:00 PM | TODAY | POLITICS
The applicant, Emiliya Melikyan, is an Armenian national who was born
in 1949 and lives in Yerevan. In 2004 she wished to acquire shares in
the State Company for which she was working at the time, which was
to be privatised. Together with other employees of the company, she
brought court proceedings contesting the legality of the Government
decree concerning the privatisation, which stipulated that the shares
were to be sold to a certain third party. Relying in particular on
Article 6 § 1 (access to court) of the European Convention on Human
Rights, Ms Melikyan complained that she had been deprived of the right
to challenge the legality of the decree before the Armenian courts,
as they had refused to examine the claim on the merits.
Violation of Article 6 § 1 Just satisfaction: EUR 3,600 (non-pecuniary
damage)
