Member of the Heritage opposition faction Vardan Khachatryan has
recognized Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and belonging of Nagorno
Karabakh to Azerbaijan.
Commenting on the signing of the Moscow Declaration by the Presidents
of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia, the deputy pointed to the paragraph
requiring the return of Azerbaijani refugees to their homes.
"This mostly relates to the return of refugees to their homes,
including only Azeri natives, who are temporarily displaced and,
according to the same rules of international law, should not appear
in the status of refugees", he explained.
Khachatryan is right - Azerbaijanis of Nagorno-Karabakh and seven
adjacent districts, expelled from their land by the armed forces of the
invader state of Armenia, are not refugees but internally displaced
persons (IDP) as defined by Geneva convention of 1951 because when
leaving Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent districts and directing
to the safe regions of Azerbaijan, they have not crossed the state
border and stayed in the Azerbaijani state.
After returning to their homes as a result of the settlement of the
Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, they still will not
cross the state border, as Nagorno-Karabakh is part of Azerbaijan. It
is for this reason that they are currently not considered refugees and
internally displaced persons, and deputy Khachatryan has mentioned it
thus recognizing the fact that Nagorno Karabakh belongs to Azerbaijan.
