Azerbaijan to prove Armenia’s policy of settlement in occupied lands – political analyst

Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan
Dec 24 2004

The OSCE fact-finding mission is scheduled to visit Azerbaijan
in January-February 2005 to study the situation in the country’s
occupied lands.

Commenting on the fact that Azerbaijani and Turkish representatives
have not been included in the mission, chairman of the Center for
Political Innovation and Technology Mubariz Ahmadoghlu said Azerbaijan
has enough evidence to ensure that the mission experts conduct an
unbiased monitoring in the occupied territories.

“Not only Armenians but also several international organizations,
including the International Committee of the Red Cross and Doctors
Without Borders, are engaged in purposeful settlement of population
in Upper Garabagh and other occupied lands of Azerbaijan.”

The political analyst also said that several families of Armenian
descent, who became victims of an earthquake that hit Armenia in 1988,
were settled in the Lachin District, another Azerbaijani territory
under occupation.

This fact was indirectly confirmed by German, Russian and Armenian
representatives of the international organization on search of
prisoners of war and missing people. They officially announced that
all living conditions were created for mentally retarded Armenians
in the mountainous area of Lachin District.

“Armenians will not be able to hide their large-scale activities
on settling population in the occupied lands of Azerbaijan,” said
Ahmadoghlu.*
