Shahumyan-Getashen refugees appeal to UN
Letters have been sent on behalf of the deported Armenians of the Shahumyan
and Getashen regions, immediately bordering Nagorno Karabakh, to the UN
Secretary General, Mr. Kofi Annan and President of the UN's 59th General
Assembly, Mr. Jean Ping. The letters reaffirm the rights of those who were
forcibly removed from their homes in these and other regions and lost all
their possessions, to defend themselves in the appropriate international
organizations.
The Shahumyan-Getashen Benevolent Organization reserves for itself the right
to speak on behalf of the tens of thousands of Armenian refugees from
Azerbaijan, who are today deprived of the right to return to their homes and
to their property.
