On November 28, the Refugees and International Right Civil Society
Net made a statement reminding the participants of the negotiation
process of the Karabakh regulation that it’s impossible to reach
steady and prolonged peace without including on the agenda the issue
of the Armenians forced out from Soviet Azerbaijan and Nakhijevan.

" It must be clear to everybody that Armenian refugees will not
return to any territory lying under Azerbaijan’s control as it is
not safe and Armeniaphobia deepens in Azerbaijan. We declare that
Armenian refugees have right to resettle in former Aghdam and Fizuli,
Kashatakh and Karvachar and in whole territory called safe zone. The
Armenian authorities must support the Armenian refugees’ rights as
it is their duty," the statement reads.

Till the end of November the Civil Society Net will present to the NKR
National Assembly the revised version of NKR law on citizenship. Thanks
to this regulation, the whole Armenian population of Soviet Azerbaijani
will have an opportunity to become full citizen of NKR.
