The Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia will submit a legal case of over the return of the Sis Catholicosate to the European Court of Human Rights, Armenpress reports.

The Constitutional court of Turkey rejected to discuss the request of the Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia demanding the return of the Sis Catholicosate.

"This is the first legal action taken against Turkey after the Armenian Genocide of 1915. This legal action is the result of a long and serious reflection, consultation, and study, and is based on the provisions of international law, including the decisions of the Lausanne Conference of 1932 pertaining to the minorities living within the boundaries of the Republic of Turkey," Catholicos Aram I said.

He said this is the high time to pass from the recognition to reparation stage, on this way not forgetting about the importance of the Armenian Genocide recognition.
