Azerbaijan is distressed by the resettlement of Syrian Armenians to
the "occupied lands."
"The resettlement of Armenian refugees from Syria to the occupied
territories of Azerbaijan conducted by the Armenian government in
violation of international legal norms and principles is one of our
concerns," Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the State Committee
on Refugees and Displaced Persons and the Republican Commission on
International Humanitarian Aid Ali Hasanov said.
According to the official media, Hasanov made the statement at
the Third International Humanitarian Pledging Conference for Syria
in Kuwait.
"We think that donations raised at the conference should be used
exclusively to meet important humanitarian needs of Syrian refugees
and to restore normal living conditions rather than serve the purpose
of their illegal accommodation," he said.
In the words of the vice-premier, Azerbaijan caries on humanitarian
projects in over 30 states of Latin America, Africa and Asia and
in a number of European and other countries despite global economic
problems.
"In continuation of its noble mission, Azerbaijan, which is a peace
loving country which supports the territorial integrity, sovereignty
and independence of Syria, is updating the total of material aid
it will render to Syrian refugees for the improvement of their
humanitarian position. Hopefully, the Syrian conflict will soon be
peacefully resolved, and the refugees and displaced persons will
return to their homes," he said.
The Syrian conflict has lead to a major humanitarian catastrophe,
the official continued. Millions of people, among them refugees
and displaced persons whose rights are still violated, have found
themselves in a difficult situation, he said.
The conflict also has implications for the countries which have taken
in Syrian refugees, Hasanov said.
Azerbaijan has experienced a similar problem and it understands well
the hardships of the Syrian people, he said.
