European Court launches probe into Armenian president's involvement in
Khojaly massacre
05 December 2009 [11:43] - Today.Az
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has asked Turkey-based
Organization for Fight against Baseless Armenian Allegations (ASIMDER)
to provide documents which prove that Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan ordered Armenian armed forces to commit a massacre in
Khojaly, Azerbaijan, Hurriyyet quoted ASIMDER chairman Goksel Gulbey
as saying.
According to him, the European Court of Human Rights replied to their
application for Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan to be tried on the
Khojaly genocide.
`European Court of Human Rights stated that they put our application
into operation and asked us to send documents about the application to
the court by January 8, 2010,' Gulbey said.
"The court asks us to provide documents about Sargsyan. As an addition
to the documents we already have, we asked Azerbaijan's Consulate
General to Kars to provide us with more documents. When documents are
sent, we will prepare our application in the shortest term and we will
present them to the court.'
`We believe that the European Court of Human Rights will make a fair
decision. Sargsyan was the commander of the Armenian armed forces
which committed massacre in Khojaly in 1992. He ordered Armenian armed
forces to commit a massacre and he also participated in that. The
blood of the victims of Khojaly massacre has not dried yet. 1.2
million Azerbaijani citizen had to flee their homeland as displaced
persons in that period. Sargsyan should be tried in ECHR for these
crimes,' he added.
