Armenia files interstate complaints against Turkey with European Court of Human Rights - TASS

 Armenia has filed an interstate complaint with the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) against Turkey accusing it of recruiting Syrian militants and sending them to Azerbaijan to take part in combat operations in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone in the autumn of 2020, Armenia’s mission to the ECHR said on Tuesday.

"Armenia has lodged an interstate complaint with the ECHR against Turkey over its convention violations by means of recruiting Syrian mercenaries during the 44-day war, sending them to Azerbaijan and offering military assistance to Azerbaijan. In particular, the Armenian government insists that Turkey violated the rights of the people of Armenia and Artsakh (unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic - TASS) to freedom, inviolability, property, private and family life," it said.

"The government has provided a lot of evidence proving that Turkey recruited Syrian mercenaries and sent them from Syria to Azerbaijan, supplied the Azerbaijani armed forces with combat vehicles, weapons and munitions, and took part in the conflict in other ways," the Armenian mission said.
