Baku - APA. A group of Azerbaijani journalists, who became IDPs as
a result of occupation of Azerbaijani lands by Armenia, bring a case
before the European Court on Human Rights against Armenia.
In their claims, journalists Khalid Asif Kazimli, Khalid Valid Kazimov,
Etibar Seyidagha, Seymur Verdizadeh, Mahabbat Orujiv, Aynur Elgunash,
Sevil Hilalgizi, Samir Kazimli show that Armenia infringed their
right to property, life, education and other rights and exposed them
material and moral damage during the occupation of Karabakh regions
around Nagorno Karabakh Autonomous Province. One of the authors of
the initiative Khalid Kazimli told APA that they have thought about
it since early 2011: "We have postponed this initiative because of
various reasons and above all and our doubt in the perspectives of this
suit. But we knew that the corresponding claim of a group of Lachin
residents was accepted by the European Court, we met once again and
decided to realize the issue. The Armenian army burnt the houses,
annihilated the property of everyone who signed this document. The
committers of such crime can't remain unpunished in the 21st
century. Even if Armenia and Azerbaijan sign peaceful treaty tomorrow
and our houses are rebuilt and returned to us, it is impossible to
reimburse the privations, pangs that we faced beyond our homeland".
The official complaint will be sent to the European Court in the
next few days. In the complaint the journalists will ask the court
to approve that Armenia infringed their right and occupied their lands.
At the same time Armenia will be demanded to pay an indemnity. The
petition is based on the article No.1 (inviolability of property),
No.8 (personal privacy) No.13 (right to fair trial) of the Protocol
No.1 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental
Freedoms. The complainants will also note that they were exposed to
the discrimination (article No.14). Chief of Media Right institute
Rashid Hajili undertook the documentation work on the complaint of
the journalists.
