On 18 December, immediately after the meeting of Armenia’s Representative before the ECHR Yeghishe Kirakosyan with the relatives of 62 servicemen captured by the Azerbaijani forces near Khtsaberd, Nagorno-Karabakh, which took place in Gyumri, another request for applying interim measure against Azerbaijan on behalf of 53 servicemen was prepared and lodged by the Office of the Representative before the ECHR, along with supporting evidentiary materials.

Attorneys submitted an interim measure request for the remaining 9 servicemen, the Office of Armenia’s Representative before the ECHR reported on Tuesday.

On December 21, the ECHR granted the request submitted by the government of Armenia, asking the government of Azerbaijan to provide information on prisoners of war, their medical documents, and information on the terms of their exchange by 28 December.



Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
