International law expert calls on Artsakh residents to file an  application to ECHR to protect their property seized by Azerbaijan

ArmInfo.International law expert and attorney Ara Ghazaryan called on Artsakh residents to complete a form to file an application to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to protect their property seized by Azerbaijan in occupied Artsakh.

As the attorney posted on his Facebook page, the Ara Ghazaryan law  firm, in collaboration with the public organizations Center for  International and Comparative Law (ICLaw) and the Union for the  Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Peoples of Artsakh,  continues to accept applications. "They concern the property claims  of residents related to the forced seizure of property, namely  apartments, houses, land plots, and other assets of Artsakh residents  by Azerbaijan. Our service is free," Kazaryan wrote.

To appeal to the ECHR, the lawyer noted, one must complete the form  at the following link:   https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSf9qH9awYf.../viewform.  Additionally, Kazaryan said, one can call (010) 220012 from 10:00 AM  to 6:00 PM, email [email protected] to arrange a meeting, or  visit the law office at 25 Baghramyan Avenue, Floor 2, Apartment 8.  "Don't miss the opportunity to protect your property," the  international law specialist concluded.

Let us recall that on September 19, 2023, Azerbaijan, under the  pretext of an "anti-terrorist operation," launched another act of  aggression against Artsakh. This was preceded by a nearly 10-month  blockade of the republic. Since the enemy aggression that began in  the fall of 2020, which culminated in the complete ethnic cleansing  of Artsakh in September 2023, over 150,000 Artsakh residents have  lost their homeland and become refugees.

In addition to destroying Artsakh's cultural heritage, Azerbaijani  authorities continue to destroy Artsakh property in Stepanakert and  other districts of Artsakh. Entire villages are being wiped off the  face of the earth.
