The legal team representing the Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia submitted a written request to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), urging to speed up the litigation on returning the Sis Catholicosate, which used to be its historical seat.  

In the request the team also asked not to submit to the Turkish court the judicial document lodged with the ECHR on 7 December 2016, considering the uncertain situation inside the country, violation of laws, unlawful attitude towards judges and attorneys, and, generally, the dictatorial regime in Turkey.

“The situation [in Turkey] is indeed concerning. The Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights and the Venice Commission stated about their concerns on February 15 and March 13 respectively,” the document reads.
