The Azerbaijani news agency Trend informs that the PACE Spring Session
will discuss the question of adopting a declaration on the refugees
and displaced persons in Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan. The draft
document was worked out by the Latvian reporter of the Committee on
Migration, Refugees and Population Boris Silevic. It is stated in the
report that the problem of refugees and displaced persons in the South
Caucasus hampers economic, social and political development of the
countries of the region, creates problems for the health care
system. Reporter Silevic emphasizes the importance of continuing
European assistance to refugees and displaced persons, as well as
increasing international assistance to guarantee the future of the
refugees and displaced persons in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. The
draft report states that presently the bulk of the refugees and
displaced persons in the South Caucasus are people who were forced to
leave their homes in the course of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict
over Nagorno Karabakh. The document points out that the return of
refugees and the displaced persons is impossible without the
settlement of the conflict over Nagorno Karabakh.
