Fatima Hasanova read more On December 20, Azerbaijani Supreme Court Deputy Chairman and
representative of the country in the European Court of Human Rights
(ECHR) Chingiz Asgarov filed a lawsuit against Armenian vandalism
in the European Court, Azernews reports.
'New interstate application Aze v. Arm lodged with #ECHR: facts
of #Armenia's responsibility for destruction of hundreds of
Azerbaijanis' properties in Laçın, Zabux and Sus of #Azerbaijan in
May-August 2022 ,' Asgarov tweeted.
To recap, during Armenia's three-decade-long occupation, along
with humanitarian terror, Armenia committed systematic vandalism
against Azerbaijani cultural heritage in Karabakh by erasing
historical Azerbaijani toponyms, destroying hundreds of historical
and cultural monuments, mosques, and other shrines, desecrating
religious values, misappropriating ancient Albanian churches,
presenting them as Armenian.
Nearly 900 cemeteries in the liberated lands were completely
destroyed, tombstones were broken, and graves were excavated with
the remains desecrated. For the past 30 years, Azerbaijani citizens
have been denied the right to visit their loved ones' graves.
Armenia committed ethnic-cultural genocide as well as ethnic
cleansing against Azerbaijanis. There remained no Azerbaijanis in
Armenia as a result of the mass deportation of the ethnic
Azerbaijanis from their ancestral lands in the early 20th century.
Over 250,000 Azerbaijanis were expelled from their native lands and
became refugees as a result of the final deportation in 1988
alone.
