Tbilisi. April 13 (Prime-News) - The Parliamentary Assembly of the
Council of Europe urges on Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia to assign
the status to the refugees and IDPS sheltering there, as provided
for the international law.
According to the report by Boris Tsilevich, Latvian MP, delivered
at the PACE session, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan must assign a
legal status to the refugees sheltering there, as it is provided by
the international humanitarian law.
The report says that the "situation with regard to refugees and IDPs in
Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan hinders economic, social and political
development of those countries".
The author of the report says that "the efforts undertaken by the
governments of the above-mentioned countries for conflict resolution,
including resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, were vain".
The document also appeals to the documents by United Nations, saying
that 237 069 IDPs were registered in Georgia in 2005 - 224 938 from
the Breakaway Abkhazia and 12 131 from South Ossetia.
PACE appeals to the Council of Europe and asks to render financial
aid to Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan to settle the problem of IDPS
and refugees.
