The Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be discussed
at the British parliament.
British MP Christopher Pincher from Tamworth said the MPs will raise
the issue in the parliament about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
settlement and the return of IDPs home, the European Azerbaijan
Society (TEAS) reported on July 24.
Pincher said the British MPs have visited the new settlements built
for IDPs in Sheki. "We were informed about the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict and the impact on Azerbaijan. We will raise the issue in the
British Parliament for the conflict to be resolved and internally
displaced people to return home," he said.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict emerged in 1988 when Armenia made
territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Since a lengthy war in the
early 1990s that displaced over one million Azerbaijanis, Armenian
armed forces have occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's
internationally recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and
seven adjacent regions.
Pincher also noted that he joined the "Many Happy Returns" campaign to
protect the rights of more than one million refugees and internally
displaced persons, victims of the Armenian-Azerbaijani
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Pincher, being a member of the Committee on Energy and Climate Change
in the House of Commons of the British Parliament, has been the
chairman of the Azerbaijan-UK friendship group since 2012.
He personally visited the refugee camps and internally displaced
persons in Azerbaijan, including Sheki and Gabala.
Pincher said the name "Many Happy Returns" campaign, organized by the
European Azerbaijan Society, was chosen on the basis of the
congratulatory message in the English style.
"This is a kind of prayer for the fulfillment of the desires of people
who want to return home. The photos of displaced people living only in
three of 76 refugee camps in the regions of Azerbaijan were posted on
the campaign website (www.manyhappyreturnsidp.com). The photos were
shot by famous German photographer Philip Rathmer," he said.
Each "Many Happy Returns" card features a portrait of the IDP or
refugee that has the same birthday as the recipient, taken in three
camps by the renowned photographer Rathmer. It is followed by a
personal message.
