ArmInfo. The European Court of Human Rights delivered a verdict in the case of Levon Ter-Petrosyan v. Armenia.
The ECHR rejected the highest priority of the four demands of the first President of Armenia, Levon Ter- Petrosyan, namely, he considered it legitimate to restrict his moving from home during the events of March 1, 2008. According to the applicant, this was a violation of the rights to personal freedom and freedom of movement. The European Court disagreed with the applicant's arguments and, in this regard, considered the complaint to be unfounded and inadmissible.
As for the other three requirements, the claim of discrimination in the process of termination of shares during the March 2008 events was left without consideration.
The court reacted positively to the other two requirements. In particular, the ECHR acknowledged that there had been a violation of the right to freedom of assembly due to the termination of the March 1 rally on Freedom Square. And secondly, the ECHR considered the violation of the right to an effective legal remedy the impossibility of challenging the legality of the termination of an assembly.
