A1+
[06:33 pm] 04 October, 2007
"The European Court on Human Rights is currently discussing the appeal
of "A1+". Thus, the dialogue between the European Court and the RA
Government is going on and very soon the Court will make a final
decision on the claim", informed Alvina Gyulumyan, who represents
Armenia at the European Court.
Mrs Gyulumyan doubted to mention the concrete term of the decision. The
European Court currently discusses the claims of the former owners of
the North Avenue and Buzand Street and "Jehovah’s Witnesses" together
with the Armenian Government. The Court also examines the case of
Ruben Tororsyan, Chairman of the "General Assembly of Deputy Club"
NGO, regarding the 2003 elections. Mrs Gyulumyan also informed that
the European Court discusses the case of Murad Bojoyan who was accused
of betraying the native land. Alvina Gyulumyan promised to talk about
each case in detail at the conference "International experience of
the cooperation between Constitutional Courts and Ombudsmen in the
field of ensuring and Protection of Human Rights".
The European court has receives 479 appeals from Armenia since
Armenia’s access to the Council of Europe. This is not the final
number since 617 appeals were received from Azerbaijani citizens
against Armenia regarding their refugee status. 214 appeals were not
included in the list of the cases against Armenia.
Recently the European Court has received 32 new appeals, which have
not been studied yet. 87 cases are waiting for the discussion of the
Committee, 22 – for the discussion of the Assembly, the RA Government
and the European Court are negotiating on 42 cases and the Court is
waiting for a respond, then it will decide to examine the cases or
not. Today the Court has made a final decision only on one case from
Armenia, released verdicts on 2 cases.
233 appeals from Armenia were recognized inadmissible by the Court,
7 were dismissed from the list and 52 applicants were not consistent
and did not fill in all necessary documents. The European Court
did not admit the claims of those who regarded the Court as a 4-th
instance. In Alvina Gyulumyan’s opinion, some RA citizens have wrong
imagination about the European Court and raise issues that are not
related to the European Convention on Human Rights.
