    NONE OF OSCE MG PROPOSALS IMPLIES RESTORATION OF ARMENIAN REFUGEES' RIGHTS

    /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.
