/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Member of the delegation of Azerbaijan to the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, political scientist
Aidyn Mirzazade has expressed opinion that on the whole the OSCE fact
finding mission report on settlement of the territories adjacent to
Nagorno Karabakh is advantageous to Azerbaijan, as the issue was
raised by the Azeri party, which possesses many facts of locating
population in Karabakh. Mirzazade emphasized that the settlement of
population in those territories «runs counter to international
conventions, noting that first of all it is necessary for provide for
normal living conditions in these territories, and the Armenian party
has not done it ~V on the contrary, it banished the local population,
depriving it of its property.» «Armenia has been trying to fail the
mission work. However, the mission virtually confirmed the facts
provided by our Government over settlement of people, who are not
citizens of Azerbaijan. Each time during the mission work Armenia and
Nagorno Karabakh put forward new conditions. First they said that
there are no such cases, then ~V that the work will be continued. This
showed that the Azeri party was right when making statements,» he
noted. The political scientist considered the mission arriving at a
conclusion that the settlement of population is not being carried out
by Armenia as a political statement. In his opinion, «being far from
the reality, this thesis is aimed at keeping Armenia in a relatively
favorable condition. Mirzazade said, «factual proof of Armenia's
direct participation in the process will be presented along with the
demand of their being studied at the following stages.» In his words,
«other thesis in the mission report, which do not reflect the
reality, in fact cleared up many issues.» «Firstly, it became visible
that Armenians residing outside Armenia are not inclined to living
either in this country or in the occupied Nagorno Karabakh. One
million people are ousted from the occupied lands, hence the same
number should be settled to arrange normal economy. The fact finding
mission stated that some 3 thousand people are settled, thus a
notable human deficit is present. The Armenian Diaspora is not
interested in settling these lands either. The reasons for Armenia,
pursuing a predatory policy remain unknown, taking into account its
population leaving abroad and it cannot benefit from the occupied
lands,» Mirzazade stated.
