ECHR rejects request for provisional measures against Armenia because jailed Azeri soldiers' rights are duly guaranteed

YEREVAN, MAY 11, ARMENPRESS. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has rejected an application filed by the families of the two Azerbaijani soldiers who are currently jailed in Armenia seeking provisional measures against Armenia.

The family members of the two Azeri servicemen claimed that their relatives are being ill-treated in Armenian detention. However, the Armenian government presented evidence to the ECHR that the rights of the Azeri servicemen envisaged under the convention are guaranteed in Armenia.

The ECHR rejected the request for provisional measures based on the Armenian government’s presented stance, the Office of the Representative of Armenia for International Legal Affairs said in a press release.
