/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Adoption of PACE declaration `on the 60th
anniversary of deportation of Azeris from Armenia’ is real quite real,
the head of the Armenian delegation to PACE said.
`Nevertheless, to adopt the statement as PACE document, the Azeri
delegation will have to garner over 300 signatures, what is not an
easy job,’ Davit Harutyunyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
The Azerbaijani delegation to PACE has developed a declaration on
occasion of the 60th anniversary of deportation of Azeris from
Armenia. `This declaration needs to be signed by over 20
parliamentarians from at least 5 countries,’ said Ganira Pashayeva,
member of the Azerbaijani delegation, Trend Azeri news agency reports.
In 1948-49, due to mass repatriation of Armenians to the homeland, the
government of the Armenian SSR addressed Azerbaijan with a request to
launch Azeris’ resettlement campaign.
Yerevan’s initiative was supported by Russia.
Some 100 thousand Azeris left Armenia during two years.
