It turns out that Azerbaijan has violated the mentioned articles. We demand that urgent measures be applied to Azerbaijan immediately. In other words, if the European Court had given Azerbaijan time until September 22 to provide information about the whereabouts of the captives, to provide medical certificates, if any, and to fill in the rest of the points, now we demand that an urgent measure be applied quickly.
The information will also be sent to the UN International Court of Justice in the form of a letter. We will inform you about the progress,” said Hasmik Samvelyan.
