    RA Ombudsman: Refugees' problem must remain focus of Government's attention

    14:43 / 01/15/2010The Armenian refugees' problem must remain the focus
    of the Armenian Government's attention. On the hand, `it must not be
    made a fetish of,' which is the case in Azerbaijan, RA Ombudsman Armen
    Harutyunyan stated at a function on the occasion of the 20th
    anniversary of Armenian pogroms in Baku, Azerbaijan.

    `We must focus our attention on the refugee problem, but we must not
    lose adequate thinking ability, which taking place in Azerbaijan,'
    Harutyunyan said.

    He pointed out that the pogroms put an end to the 250,000-string
    Armenian community in Baku, and hundreds of thousands of Armenians
    were forcibly displaced from Azerbaijan. The Armenian Ombudsman
    stressed that `adequate thinking' served as a basis for the incumbent
    Armenian authorities initiating the Armenia-Turkey normalization
    process.
