The Armenian government will pay an elderly resident of Yerevan 1.6 million euros ($1.8 million) worth of compensation ordered by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), a senior official said on Friday.
Yeghishe Kirakosian, Armenia's representative to the ECHR, said the government at the same time hopes that the massive payment resulting from a property dispute can be made in several installments.
The ECHR set the amount of "just satisfaction" for the 83-year-old Yuri Vartanian last month nearly three years after ruling that Armenian authorities violated his rights to property ownership and a fair hearing in court.
