On 3 June of this year, the European Court of Human Rights notified the Government of the Republic of Armenia that on 1 and 2 June, Azerbaijan submitted to the ECHR a new interstate complaint requesting the application of an intermediate measure, which refer to the requirement to provide maps of allegedly mined areas by the Republic of Armenia.

The European Court of Human Rights has considered this interstate complaint filed by Azerbaijan as an integral part of the interstate complaint filed with the ECHR in January this year. Thus, the European Court did not accept the interstate complaint under consideration as a new, independent complaint.

It should be noted that in its turn, in early May of this year, the Armenian government submitted to the European Court the amendments to the interstate complaint submitted to the ECHR in the case of Armenia v. Azerbaijan on 1 February, 2021, adding the previously submitted requirements to attach new evidence.

As for the request of the Azerbaijani side to apply an interim measure, the European Court informed the Government of Azerbaijan that on March 5 of this year the European Court made a decision to reject the request on the same issue, according to Rule 39 of the Court, that is, on the grounds that it is beyond the scope of an interim measure. The European Court has stressed that the decision of 5 March, 2021 is still in force, there is no need to make a new decision on the same issue.
