ArmInfo. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) rejected Armenia's application for a new  interim measure against Azerbaijan in connection with the detention of Vagif Khachatryan in the Lachin corridor. This was reported by the office of the representative of Armenia on International Legal Matters.

"The European Court of Human Rights rejected the application of  Armenia to apply a new interim measure against Azerbaijan in  connection with the case of Vagif Khachatryan. At the same time, the  court noted that the decision to apply an interim measure, issued on  September 29, 2020 and extended on November 3 of the same year,  according to which Azerbaijan undertakes to fulfill its convention  obligations remains in force," the statement said.

It also notes that the ECHR ordered Azerbaijan to inform about the  general condition of Khachatryan and the ongoing criminal  proceedings.

68-year-old resident of Nagorno-Karabakh Vagif Khachatryan was  detained at the end of July at the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, when  he was being transported to Armenia for treatment, accompanied by the  staff of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
