The rapporteur of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe
on the refugee situation in the South Caucasus, Boriss Cilevics, has
hailed Azerbaijan’s efforts to improve the living conditions of
internally displaced persons as “the right move”.

Speaking on the private ANS TV’s Point of View programme on 4 July,
Cilevics said that he would report back to the CE and a resolution
would be drafted on the basis of his report. He also discussed the
issue of reimbursing IDPs and refugees for the property left behind as
a result of the conflict with Armenia.

Commenting on the plight of uprooted people, he said “it is little
wonder” they are experiencing difficulties. Cilevics expressed the
hope that the situation on the ground would get better.
