The report of the Committee on Migration, Refugees and Population on the problems of refugees in Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia was heard. «We voiced the protest on a number of the items of the report on the state of refugees and internally displaced people in Azerbaijan.

The decision was taken to revise the issue with the rapporteur Boris Shlevovitsch and then submit for discussion”.
