THE HAGUE BAKU CONFERENCE TO DISCUSS GARABAGH
Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan
April 4 2006
Baku, April 3, AssA-Irada
The International Tribunal of the Hague will hold an international
conference in Baku on April 5-6. The event will be attended by
an advisor to the tribunal's chairman, NGOs which are part of the
coalition supporting The Hague, representatives of the presidential
administration and the ministry of justice, says a former justice
minister of the Georgian breakaway republic of Abkhazia, Paata
Davitaya, who currently leads We Ourselves movement.
He said the International Tribunal had supported his claim that
Georgians were still being exterminated in Abkhazia.
The Abkhaz politician said the conference would discuss the role of
the Tribunal in conflict resolution, the Armenian-Azerbaijan dispute
over Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh and the cooperation with the tribunal.
He said the fair position of the former Azerbaijani president, Heydar
Aliyev, and of the incumbent president, Ilham Aliyev, towards settling
the conflict could create a platform for the country to raise the
issue before the international court.
"Azerbaijani law-enforcement authorities have sufficient evidence
of the crimes the Armenians have perpetrated against Azerbaijanis in
Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh. This can simplify the procedure for filing
a suit with the court," Davitaya said.
