Europarliament’s report on South Caucasus

27 December 2007 [12:43] – Today.Az

Following the protest campaign, initiated by the Forum of Azerbaijani
students in Europe, with headquarters in Brussels, the Europarliament
introduced phrases on occupation of Nagorno Garabagh to the report on
South Caucasus.

The due information was provided by the press service of the Forum.

It was noted that the campaign of the protest letter started on
November 20.

According to the information, the Forum demanded introduction of the
following paragraphs into the report:

-discussions of the status of Garabagh can not be held without
participation of Azerbaijani community and such discussions are
illegal;

-the right of Azerbaijanis, who turned into internally displaced
persons, to return to their houses is unquestionable.

It should be reminded that the Forum sent a letter of protest to the
Europarliament regarding the report on South Caucasus and called upon
Azerbaijani students in Europe to send letters of protest to the
European Parliament, as well.

The protest campaign was fruitful and promoted the introduction of
paragraphs, meeting Azerbaijan’s interests, to the report.

Moreover, four European deputies suggested to include references to
the resolutions of the UN Security Council regarding occupation of
Azerbaijani lands by Armenia during the session of the Europarliament
Committee for International Relations.

According to the Forum’s press service, the report will be presented
for voting during the plenary session of the Europarliament in
January of 2008 and will be awarded the status of the Europarliament
resolution after ratification.
