Armenia on Thursday played down political implications of a European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruling on an Azerbaijani lawsuit stemming from the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian insisted that it will have no impact on international efforts to broker a solution to the conflict that are spearheaded by the United States, Russia and France. "The Minsk Group of the OSCE is the only structure with an international mandate to deal with the conflict's resolution," he said in comments to RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am).
The ECHR ruled earlier this week on two lawsuits filed by Armenian and Azerbaijani former residents of districts around Karabakh who were displaced during the 1991-1994 war for the disputed territory. It said that Azerbaijan and Armenia violated the plaintiffs' respective property rights and should eventually compensate them.
