The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has issued judgments over the CASE OF VOSKERCHYAN v. ARMENIA and CASE OF AYVAZYAN v. ARMENIA concerning the March 1, 2008 events.
The two citizens of Armenia objected their arrests to the European court.
The ECHR held that there have been violations of Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights in the arrest and detention of Grigor Voskerchyan and Masis Ayvazyan.
The court holds that the Armenian government must pay 3000 Euros to Voskerchyan and 4500 Euros to Ayvazyan in non‑pecuniary damages.
