The website for the ‘Many Happy Returns’ (MHR) campaign – a landmark TEAS initiative – has gone live at www.manyhappyreturnsidp.com. Its purpose is to raise awareness of the plight of the estimated 875,000 Azerbaijani Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) or refugees displaced from their homes by the Armenian military occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh and the seven surrounding districts.
There is also opportunity to pledge your support for a petition to the UN to rechristen 20 June – currently World Refugee Day – as World Refugee and Internally Displaced Persons Day.
Despite four UN Security Council resolutions being passed condemning the invasion, the lands remain under illegal Armenian occupation. The attempts by the OSCE Minsk Group to mediate between the sides have proven unsuccessful.
On the MHR website, readers can also learn about the background to the conflict in graphic novel form and read personal testimonies. They can also view messages of support from such political and cultural figures as Christopher Pincher MP,Chair, All-Party Parliamentary Group for Azerbaijan; Lord Kilclooney; acclaimed US photojournalist Ed Kashi; and composer Pierre Thilloy.
Many Happy Returns is an awareness campaign dedicated to highlighting the plight of around a million Azerbaijani Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and Refugees forced from their homes during the Nagorno-Karabakh War of 1990–94.
One day, with the help of influential people we hope to have many happy returns to our homes and lands.
