    Sept 6 2004

    With the aim to promote solving the tasks set in the "State Program
    on Improvement of Living Conditions and Employment Opportunities of
    Refugees and Internally Displaced People", Ambassador of Azerbaijan
    to Saudi Arabia Elman Arasly met with Secretary General of the
    League of Islamic World Abdulla Turki and Secretary General of the
    Islamic Charity Organization "Nijat" Adnan Pasha, the Embassy press
    service said.

    Ambassador Elman Arasly informed the Saudi side on the hard
    consequences of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh,
    negotiations between Azerbaijan President and heads of the world's
    leading states and prestigious international organizations concerning
    peaceful resolution of the problem. He stressed that aggressor Armenia
    and has been occupying 20% of the Azerbaijani lands for over ten
    years, and holds non-constructive position in the peace process. As a
    result of the aggression, he said, more than one million Azerbaijani
    citizens have become refugees and IDPs and are still living under
    very hard conditions. The diplomat handed the Azerbaijani side's
    request to increase the volume of aid rendered by the government and
    humanitarian organizations of Saudi Arabia to refugees and IDP to
    Mr. Abdulla Turki and Mr. Adnan Pasha.

    The latter stated for their part that governed by the King Fahd
    bin Abdul Aziz instructions on providing necessary assistance to
    Azerbaijan in its fight for elimination of the Armenian aggression
    consequences, the government and donor organizations are ready to
    increase the volume of aid.
