The report aimed at the expanding relations between the IOM and the Council of Europe. My report throw light upon migration trends, legal and illegal migration, the control of migration process, migration and tolerance, migration and human rights. That the report was made by the new democracy as Azerbaijan and the description of country's problems on this field in the document was highly appreciated. Though this document is not involved with Azerbaijan directly but it covers the activity of the IOM in Azerbaijan, especially in Nakchivan. The activity of the Organization in Nakchivan which blockaded by Armenia is appreciated positively," Hajiyeva told the APA.
