A new proposal on the talks over the Karabakh conflict was extended to
the president of Armenia Robert Kocharyan. The author of the proposal
is the civil society network Refugees and the International Law. The
network circulated an open letter to the president of Armenia on July
26, proposing to include the issue of 500 thousand Armenian refugees
on the agenda of the talks over the Karabakh issue.
"A settlement which does not include protection of rights of hundreds
of thousands of our compatriots cannot be sufficient and acceptable.
The problems of the Armenian refugees are divided into three groups:
1. Return of the homeland;
2. Recovery of material and moral damage caused during displacement
from Soviet Azerbaijan and Nakhidjevan;
3. Recovery of indirect damage caused during displacement from Soviet
Azerbaijan and Nakhidjevan," runs the open letter addressed to Robert
Kocharyan.
The civil network society Refugees and the International Law mentions
that it applied to the U.S. Embassy to Armenia proposing to organize
a meeting with the U.S. co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group during his
visit to Yerevan in late July. During this meeting the message to
the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs will be extended to Mathew Bryza,
and the problems of Armenian refugees will be discussed.
