At session, the Dutch deputy Leo Platvoet made report on the theme “The missing people in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia”.
L. Platvoet has noted, that with the purpose of gathering the facts for preparation of the report, he alongside with Armenia and Georgia has twice visited Azerbaijan, has met members of the government, parliament, other officials, and also families of the people who have missing.
The reporter informed, that as a result of occupation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan by Armenia and adjacent 7 regions, 4604 Azerbaijanis have missed. The report reflects the fact, that many of them are alive and secretly contained in territory of the occupied Nagorno Karabakh and in Armenia. The report in detail narrates about the problem with which Azerbaijan has faced, including about creation in Nagorno Karabakh of the so-called “government” of a separatist regime, the armed forces of Armenia located at the occupied Azerbaijan lands.
The report notes that the Council of Europe recognizes territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia, emphasizing that discussion of the question at all does not mean recognition in this or that form of Nagorno Karabakh, South Ossetia and Abkhazia, where today there are conflicts. In the document, it is stated that Armenia till now ignores four resolutions of Security Council of the United Nations on unconditional liberation of the Azerbaijan territories. These Resolutions have recognized the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan, the report underlines.
