“If the report by Latvian MP Broris Silevich includes the items
unsatisfying Azerbaijan, we will be able to change it,” Samad Seyidov,
the Head of the Azerbaijani delegation to PACE, stated.

According to Trend, the document, worked out by Latvian MP Boris
Silevich and put on the agenda of the spring session of PACE,
reflects moments contradicting to Azerbaijani position on refugees
and internally displaced people.

The Latvian MP wrote the number of the Azerbaijani IDP was 580,000,
while 8,000 refugees came from Chechnya, Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq.

The report also says that 250,000 IDP live in Armenia with 15,000
people received citizenship. The rest 235,000 Armenians are regarded
as Azerbaijani citizens.

The report is not related only to Azerbaijan. “It also reflects
the state of the refugees in Georgia and Armenia. Similar report
was worked out earlier and also included the items unsatisfying
Azerbaijan. Under the rules of the procedure, if the report includes
the items unsatisfying Azerbaijan, we will be able to interfere and
change the report,” Seyidov said.
