Moldova and Russia [GC], no. 48787/99, ECHR 2004-VII, and Catan and Others v. Moldova and Russia [GC], nos. 43370/04 and   2   others, §§ 102-23, ECHR 2012 (extracts), on account of the circumstances of the present case?   2.     Has the applicant’s wife’s right to life, ensured by Article   2 of the Convention, been violated in the present case (see Güzelyurtlu and Others v.   Cyprus and Turkey [GC], 36925/07, 29 January 2019)?
