LACHIN, Azerbaijan, August 24. Residents of Azerbaijan’s Lachin filed a lawsuit with the European Court of Human Rights in the case of ‘Chiragov and others v. Armenia’ in 2005, Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Court of Azerbaijan Chingiz Asgarov told Trend.

According to Asgarov, the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of ‘Chiragov and Others v. Armenia’ in 2015 was the first and only international judicial document which confirmed the fact of the occupation of Azerbaijani territories by Armenia.

“Armenia’s obligation under the judgment is to create a mechanism to consider the claims of Azerbaijani IDPs directly to the Armenian state. However, it refuses to pay the compensations under the pretext that in this case it would be recognized as the responsible state, although Armenia has already been recognized as such a state,” he said.

“We are taking measures in connection with the adoption of a decision on this issue by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe and exerting pressure on Armenia,” added the official.

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
