Armenia submitted a request to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) regarding Turkey\u2019s support for Azerbaijan. Intensifying violence over Nagorno-Karabakh claimed civilian lives on both sides on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Armenia wants the ECHR to apply so-called \u201cinterim measures\u201d<\/em>\u00a0against Ankara over its \u201cdiverse assistance<\/em>\u201d to Azerbaijani’s attacks against the civilian population and targets in Armenia and disputed Nagorno-Karabakh. That’s\u00a0according<\/a>\u00a0to the office of Armenia’s representative to the ECHR.<\/p>\n The interim measures can be\u00a0applied<\/a>\u00a0by the court when there are fears that human lives are being threatened, or any kind of ill-treatment, such as torture for example, is being used.<\/p>\n Shortly after hostilities over Nagorno-Karabakh broke out last Sunday, Armenia alleged that Turkey had sent equipment to Azerbaijani forces, as well as supported mercenaries\u00a0from Syria to join their offensive against the Armenian-populated enclave. Ankara denied having provided any material support to Azerbaijan, but confirmed it would not hesitate to do so if asked.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, President Macron of France previously said that his country has \u201ccredible<\/em>\u201d information that Syrian militants arrived in Nagorno-Karabakh through Turkey. Russia’s Foreign Ministry voiced such concerns as well.<\/p>\n Last week, Armenia lodged a similar\u00a0request<\/a>\u00a0to ECHR against Azerbaijan, demanding it \u201ccease military attacks on civilian settlements<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n As hostilities intensified this Sunday, both Baku and authorities of the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh republic reported civilian casualties.<\/p>\n
