ARMENIAN REFUGEES HAVE DEMANDS
[04:48 pm] 30 June, 2006
Since 1988 about 400 thousand Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan and
Nakhijevan have found refuge in Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh
Republic. Several NGOs gathered together today in order to announce
that they will fight for the rights of the refugees and appealed to
the society and the international community to support the violated
rights of the refugees.
Eight NGOs have adopted a statement and an agreement about the
protection of the rights of those people who were evicted from
Azerbaijan and Nakhijevan. According to expert Souren Zolyan, the
document is quite literate but will need explanation in future.
«The announcement states once more that the Armenian side must change
its approaches and the policy not only about the settlement of the
Karabakh conflict but also about the whole region», deputy Shavarsh
Kocharyan said. He noted that if you stop speaking about the Sumgayit
slaughters, the Azeri start speaking about the Khojalu «genocide».
That is, according to Mr. Kocharyan, the Azeris attack us without
having enough ground, whereas we don’t use the real facts we have.
By the way, the statement will be submitted to the President of RA and
NKR, as well as to the Presidents of the Minsk group countries.
