    1 500 applications submitted to the European Court, 20 verdicts returned

    According to statistics, the number of applications to the European
    Court from Armenia falls into the average as compared to the
    population size. Armenia submits as many cases as any other European
    country or Russia (0.33 applications from 10 thousand citizens).

    The statistics is almost the same for our neighbors - Azerbaijan and
    Georgia, although an abrupt growth was registered in Georgia (the
    number of applications increased from 0.37 to 4.04 connected with the
    five-day Russian-Georgian war).

    Which is the importance of the verdicts of the European Court for
    Armenia? According to lawyer Ara Ghazaryan, they act as a restricting
    mechanism for the state.

    Thus, more than 1 500 applications have been submitted to the European
    Court from Armenia over the past years. Twenty verdicts have been
    returned. The state has won only in one of the 20 cases.
