April 13 2006
Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia are CE members and their rights have
to be considered, the Latvian reporter, Boris Chilevia told during
his speech at the PACE spring session.
According to Trend, presenting his report on refuges and displaced
persons in Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia (# 10 835), Chilevia said,
"I have decided to present some data gathered by the international
organizations, including UN commissariat on refuges." Adding that
"the problem of refuges and displaced persons is not problem of these
persons but of all the 3 states."
He said that some success has been observed in the living conditions of
refuges. "We often saying that the international donors are growing
weary, but continuation of humanitarian aid is very important,"
he said.
Despite there are such structures as State Oil Foundation supporting
the refuges, the international aid should not be suspended.
He stressed the necessity to prepare the medium and long term programs
for integration of refuges and displaced persons.
Governments should apply the maximum effort to return the refuges
back home, "however, the return should be voluntary," he said.
Eventually, the reporter mentioned the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
saying that the talks are in impasse now. "Nobody can solve the
conflict except the opposing sides. Thus, I urge the 2 governments
to continue the dialog with the CE support," he concluded.
