    Ombudsmen of the Organization of Black Sea Economic Cooperation
    (BSEC) have gathered in Istanbul, Turkey, to discuss role of
    ombudsman institution in strengthening democracy.
    The two-day conference organized with the assistance of the
    Parliamentary Assembly of BSEC started on April 26. Addressing the
    meeting, former Turkish President Suleyman Demirel expressed hope
    that ombudsmen would contribute to bring peace and stability to the
    region.

    Human rights commissioner of Azerbaijan Mrs. Elmira Suleymanova spoke
    of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    She said over one million Azerbaijani nationals were forced to flee
    their homelands and became refugees or internally displaced persons
    (IDP) in result of 18-years long Armenian aggression.

    Mrs. Suleymanova also called on all the human rights defenders to
    step up their efforts to help Azerbaijani refugees return to their
    homes.

    The conference will last until April 27.
