    Democratic Azerbaijan
    Nov 15 2006

    "Release us from the captivity" was presented at the Azerbaijan
    National Academy of Sciences Recently the book entitled "Release us
    from the captivity" in close collaboration with the Institute of Human
    Rights of Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, State Commission
    for War prisoner, hostage and missing' issues, and "The way of grief",
    the Public Unity for war prisoner assistance was presented. The book
    get up by Esmira Orujeva, informs about 753 war prisoners and missing
    persons of Azerbaijan.

    Rovshan Mustafayev, a Director of the Institute of Human Rights of
    ANAS and Doctor of Political Studies informed that the book based
    on concrete documents was get up in close collaboration with the
    State Commission for War prisoner, hostage and missing' issues and
    its chairman Eldar Mahmudov. According to R. Mustafayev, such books
    need a comprehensive discussion. In addition, he informed about the
    Nagorno-Garabagh problem, and the Institute is dealt by with studying
    of the crimes committed by Armenians against Georgian, Jewish and
    Arabic nations: "Armenians' criminal activity resulted in death
    of 8 million persons in Egypt. We all bear a great responsibility
    in connection with the problem. We have to know what problems are
    expected us during settlement of the Nagorno-Garabagh conflict." R.
    Mustafayev, rejecting availability of such notion as "Armenian people",
    instead of that, suggests to use the term "Armenian ethno-corporative
    organization": "Kept silent MPs, disinterested officials and illiterate
    scholars hold away us from the victory. But this victory is necessary
    for us to become aware of ourselves as nation." The Director of the
    Institute, highlighting the importance of such books called all for
    releasing our compatriots from captivity and following all instructions
    of the President Ilham Aliyev.

    Shahin Sayilov, a Secretary of the State Committee for War prisoner,
    hostage and missing' issues called the book "historical document".

    According to him, the State Commission has materials of each person
    mentioned in the book: "When we speak of war prisoners, international
    organizations and Armenians accuse us of interference into politics.

    But the book denies these accusations." The positive fact is that
    NGOs made such a work. In addition, we've prepared English version
    of the book, e-version of which we intend to prepare in future."

    Nizami Bahmanov, a head of the Shusha district executive power
    informed that besides 753 missing mentioned in the book, there are
    about 4600 our missing compatriots. N. Bahmanov assured of missing
    persons' relatives of that the Government attaches a great importance
    to the problem. In addition, he informed that the book will be sent
    to international organizations and the Council of Europe.

    Ganira Pashayeva, a Member of Parliament called all to act: "To
    date the facts relating war crimes are on agenda of international
    organizations. Unfortunately, we have no materials to submit to the
    international organizations. Because of that they suppose that by
    holding talks on this subject we interfere into politics. Thus, the
    book will help us in this point." Expressing dissatisfaction about
    inactivity of Azerbaijani community in respect to the Nagorno-Garabagh
    conflict G. Pashayeva made a proposal to eliminate such tendency: "The
    Nagorno-Garabagh problem should be discussed at schools, universities,
    and in families, otherwise we can stray from the subject as we strayed
    from Zangazur and our other lands. There is clearly a need to transform
    this issue into a part of national thinking and ideology." MP considers
    bringing the problem to the notice of international community more
    purposeful: "It is necessary to discuss the problem with scholars
    worldwide. For instance, when we left for Hungary for the protection
    of Ramil Safarov, I did not find any book concerning Azerbaijan in
    library of this State that is very a sorrowful fact. We have to use
    with the fact that films concerning the human rights are transmitted
    free abroad".
