During the summer session of the Parliamentary Assembly of OSCE,
we included in the agenda Azerbaijanis’ being expelled from Armenia,
and demanded that Armenia should be punished, Rabiyat Aslanova, the
member of Azerbaijani delegation in PA OSCE and also the chairman of
the permanent commission of Azerbaijan Parliament on human rights,
told Trend.
According Aslanova, meetings were held in three committees of PA OSCE –
on security and political issues, economic issues and human rights.
"The meeting focused on the topic "Strengthening of security of people
in OSCE territory". The representatives of 56 PA OSCE member-countries
expressed their attitude towards the topic. Because any aggression
was committed against any of the OSCE member-countries or territorial
integrity was broken, it means that the security wasn’t ensured,"
Aslanova told.
Besides, she pointed out that Azerbaijani delegation made proposals
for this topic at three meetings. According to Aslanova, 16 out of
the 36 proposals belonged to the Azerbaijani delegation. At the first
committee reports were delivered by Azerbaijani representatives Bahar
Muradova and Azay Guliyev. "They could put forward their proposals.
And at the second committee reports were delivered by me and deputy
Fazil Mustafayev," Aslanova emphasized.
According to Aslanova, several question found their reflections
during the discussions. Aslanova delivered a report in relation with
national minorities. "I urged to express attitude towards the destiny
of Azerbaijanis expelled from Armenia. If Armenia expels national
minorities from its territory, it means that the security hasn’t
been ensured. Therefore, we included this question in the agenda and
demanded that Armenians should be punished for departing people from
the country," Aslanova added.
At the committee on economic issues, appearances were made by Eldar
Ibrahimov and Fattah Heydarov. They spoke about the huge economic
projects of Azerbaijan. The summer session of PA OSCE held in Brussels
will be completed on July 9.
