Azerbaijani MP Ayten Mustafayeva said OSCE MG Assessment Mission
report developed in unprofessional manner.
Ayten Mustafayeva, Director of the Azerbaijan National Academy of
Sciences Institute of Human Rights, member of the Azerbaijani
parliament has commented on the report developed by the OSCE MG Field
Assessment Mission following the visit to Azerbaijan's occupied lands.
The human rights activist says the summary of the report on the
occupied lands developed by the Field Assessment Mission is a
controversial document, in which one paragraph contradicts the other.
'At first, it says that towns and villages that existed before the
conflict are abandoned and almost entirely in ruins. While no reliable
figures exist, the overall population is roughly estimated as 14,000
persons, living in small settlements and in the towns of Lachin and
Kelbajar. ... Settlers, for the most part ethnic Armenians who were
relocated to the territories from elsewhere in Azerbaijan...'.
However, the report fails to indicate links from where the figure
14,000 has been quoted. But the next paragraph says that many of the
illegal Armenian settlers do not possess documents identifying them. A
question arises: 'Why the OSCE report says that they are refugees from
Azerbaijan?' How did they discover that they are from Azerbaijan, but
not from Lebanon, Syria, Russia and other countries? This shows how
OSCE's is irresponsible about what it does.
'The statements about destruction and looting of the occupied
territories are nothing new since this can be seen from images taken
from space. This is a forced statement of a well-known fact, without
specifying that it has been all done by Armenian occupants. The report
fails to indicate that bases have been created for terrorists and
plantations have been laid to cultivate drugs that in the
Armenian-occupied territory of Azerbaijan and prisoners from
Azerbaijan are still being used as slaves in mines doing hard work.
While Azerbaijan and foreign sources have plenty of facts and evidence
about it, the OSCE mission report fails to cite them.'
'With regard to illegal settlement of Armenians in the occupied
Azerbaijani lands, they are either criminals from various countries
hiding from justice, or those who were forcibly relocated here from
Armenia, as well as poor Armenian families resettled here from the
Middle East in exchange for money.
We also know that many of them are fleeing this land, because there
are no conditions to live. Except Khankandi and some settlements, all
occupied areas, towns and villages are in ruins,' Mustafayeva
underscored.
