EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT HEARING ON KARABAKH REFUGEES

AZG DAILY #25
15-02-2011

Human Rights Without Borders NGO on February 9 organized an event
under heading “Unresolved conflict consequences: Nagorno-Karabakh”.

The event was held at the European Parliament under the patronage of
the Vice-president of the European Parliament Laszlo Tokes.

The Azerbaijani delegation that was attending the event once again
spoke about one million Azerbaijani refugees and tried to present one
of them, who allegedly escaped from the so-called “Khojaly genocide”.

However, after the interference of the Armenian National Committee
of Europe and other organizations, Tokes changed the event note and
overturned the alleged refugee’s testimony.

Tokes also noted that “Human rights are the same everywhere”
and reminded the Azerbaijani delegation in particular, that on the
occasion of the 95th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide the EP
adopted a statement in November of last year, which called on the EP
President Jerzy Buzek to apply to the EU parliaments demanding the
recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
