Azeri refugees must return to Karabakh, Armenia when Karabakh conflict
is solved - Baku
Azeris driven away from Armenia retain their refugee status and must
return home after the Karabakh conflict settlement, Chairman of the
Azerbaijani State Committee for Refugees and Displaced Persons Ali
Gasanov told reporters on Thursday.
"The ordinance that President Heydar Aliyev signed in 2001 to build a
new residential area for refugees from Armenia stressed that those
people retained their refugee status. The possibility, conditions and
rights of Azerbaijani refugees to return to those lands and their
status are still valid," he said.
"After the liberation of the occupied [Karabakh] lands, the question
of the refugee return [to Armenia] will be raised next," he said.
Azerbaijan will not waive the restoration of rights to the banished
people. "We will insist on the residence of our compatriots there," he
noted.
