MOSCOW, June 17. /TASS/. Russian Central Election Commission (CEC) Chairman Vladimir Churov has said Wednesday he does not consider the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) as a real court.

"We rather share the opinion that ECHR is not a court at all," Churov told TASS, adding that CEC’s commission member Boris Ebseyev, who served as Russia’s Constitution Court Judge, holds the same view.

Russian legislators representing all factions have filed an official request to the Constitution Court (CC), where they want to learn what part of the decisions by ECHR may be applicable in Russia, legislator Alexander Tarnavsky told TASS on Monday.

"Deputies, who have put their signatures under the request, say some final objectives of ECHR certain decisions seem to be weakening limits of the Russian sovereignty, which is based on the supremacy of the Russian Constitution and priority of the CC’s authority for constitutional supervision," the legislator said.

"Thus, we expect the CC would provide us with explanations on the issue as well as would offer its position as to which extent decisions from ECHR could be applicable in the territory of the Russian Federation," he said.
