/PanARMENIAN.Net/ August 2 the Co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group for
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement will meet to discuss the
current stage and prospects of the settlement basing on the outcomes
of U.S. mediator Matthew Bryza's regional visit. "Refugees and
International Law" civic society network representing the interests
of the Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan and Nakhichevan has addressed
the mediators with a message that says in part,
"To OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs Matthew Bryza (U.S.), Yuri Merzlyakov
(Russia) and Bernard Fassier (France)
Dear Sirs,
"Refugees and International Law" civic society network formed for
ensuring efficient protection of the rights and interests of the
Armenian refugees from the Azeri SSR and Nakhichevan is appealing to
you with a call to draw the attention of international organizations
to the problem of 500 thousand Armenian refugees. We have to state
that up to now none of the settlement options of the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict, proposed by the MG co-chairs, has even a hint on restoration
of their violated rights. We believe that without solving the issue of
Armenian refugees full settlement of the NK issue is not possible. By
its refusal to be a successor of the Azerbaijani SSR, the Azerbaijani
Republic not only demonstrated it is unwilling to provide compensations
to Armenian refugees, but also was deprived of any legal ground to
claim the entire territory of the Azerbaijani SSR. From the legal
point of view the NKR is the only legal successor of the Azerbaijani
SSR. We believe that if NKR citizenship is granted to the Armenian
refugees and territories outside NKR boundaries, within which the NKR
was declared and which are under its jurisdiction today, are given
to them as private property, this can partially solve the issue.
"Refugees and International Law" civic society network is ready to
participate in actions, aimed at attaining a long-term settlement
of the Karabakh issue. We believe that the solution of the matter
should include restoration and effective protection of the rights of
all victims."
We remind that earlier "Refugees and International Law" civic society
network sent an open letter to Armenian President Robert Kocharian
and Azeri President Ilham Aliyev, reports IA Regnum.
