at the session; considering the first document- of the resolution
project on refuges in the South Caucasus countries. Mehtiyev stated
that “the given document in general is not bad, though it

has mistakes in numerical data.” “The resolution project has to be
corrected, and works on that problem are now carried out,” he said,
adding that Azerbaijani delegates who will arrive to the meeting will
have personal discussions with the rapporteur. “The document will be
finalized during the session itself. So its prematurely to evaluate
it now, ” he concluded.

As for the second question of importance- Human rights in the
post-soviet armies, Mehtiyev said that Azerbaijani army is also
included into the document. “The document sates some mistakes and
demerits of the national army,” for example human rights in Armenian
army is protected more efficiently. “Of course, there are demerits
in our army,” he concluded.
