AZERI PARTY IGNORES ARMENIAN REFUGEES' JUST DEMANDS
A network of the civil society `'Refugees and International Law'' has
circulated a statement in connection with the NKR Constitution's
adoption.
The statement runs, in part:
`'A network of the civil society `'Refugees and International Law''
on behalf of hundreds of thousands refugees from the Azerbaijani SSR
and Nakhijevan states that the adoption of the Main Law - the NKR
Constitution - corresponds to the fundamental interests of Artsakh
people, refugees and will become an important incentive for the
negotiation process to proceed in the rational channel. The next step
of the NKR people and leadership should be adoption of a law on the
NKR citizenship, which would enable the refugees to again find a
country of their citizenship in the NKR. The network of the civil
society `'Refugees and International Law'' believes the OSCE Minsk
group Co-Chairs Matthew Bryza, Yuri Merzlyakov and Bernard Fassier,
as well as all officials, who ignore and hush up the issue of half a
million refugees from the Azerbaijani SSR and Nakhijevan one way or
another, bear personal responsibility for the non-productiveness of
the bilateral talks being held. Since the Azeri party ignores a just
demand of the refugees from the Azerbaijani SSR and Nakhijevan to
compensate material and moral damage incurred by the Azerbaijani
authorities, the network of the civil society `'Refugees and
International Law'' again reaffirms its determination to achieve the
aim: the territories of the former Aghdam, Fizuli, Jebrail and other
regions of the former Azerbaijani SSR should be turned over to the
refugees from the Azerbaijani SSR as a partial compensation of the
damage they have suffered'', KarabakhOpen reports.
