YEREVAN, August 30. /ARKA/. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has rejected Armenia's application for a new interim measure against Azerbaijan in the case of Vagif Khachatryan, Armenia’s representative on international legal affairs said in a Facebook post.

At the same time, the ECHR noted in its ruling that its September 20, 2020 decision on application of the interim measure, extended on November 3 of the same year, by virtue of which Azerbaijan undertakes to fulfil its Convention obligations, remains in force.
