The representative of the interests of Armenian prisoners in Strasbourg, Siranush Sahakian, said that the ECHR could consider lawsuits against Baku even if Yerevan withdraws them. At the V annual conference "Voices Against Oblivion: Victims of Mass Crimes in the Age of Impunity," she reported that Armenian human rights activists are pursuing about 300 cases of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Sahakyan noted that Azerbaijan perceives the decisions of the ECHR from a purely political point of view - through the prism of a violation of territorial integrity, which is why the responsibility of war criminals fades into the background. Individual claims by Karabakh Armenians, according to her, can help punish the perpetrators only in individual cases and do not replace interstate claims.
