Western Azerbaijan Community calls on PACE to start monitoring rights of Azerbaijanis expelled from Armenia

The Western Azerbaijan Community has called on the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) to start monitoring the rights of Azerbaijanis expelled from Armenia to return to their homes, SİA informs referring to the press service of the community.

It was stated that the expulsion of Azerbaijanis by Armenia from their home territories and the prevention of their safe and dignified return to their homes is a serious violation of the country’s human rights commitments under the Council of Europe, including the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities.

The Western Azerbaijan Community believes that the issue of the rights of Azerbaijanis expelled from Armenia should become the subject of PACE monitoring on the fulfillment of its commitments by this country.

Taking into account all of the above, the Western Azerbaijan Community sent a letter to the co-rapporteurs of the Committee on the Honoring of Obligations and Commitments by Member States of the Council of Europe (Monitoring Committee) Kimmo Kiljunen (Finland) and Boriana Åberg (Sweden) with a request to monitor the implementation of Armenia’s obligations in the field of ensuring the right of return of Azerbaijanis expelled from Armenia.

It was noted that the community is ready for dialogue with the PACE Monitoring Committee on this issue.
