Paragraphs on Nagorno Garabagh occupation included into Europarliament's report on South Caucasus

27 December 2007 [12:43] - TODAY.AZ
Following the protest campaign, initiated by the Forum of Azerbaijani students in Europe, with headquarters in Brussels, the Europarliament introduced phrases on occupation of Nagorno Garabagh to the report on South Caucasus.
The due information was provided by the press service of the Forum.

It was noted that the campaign of the protest letter started on November 20.

According to the information, the Forum demanded introduction of the following paragraphs into the report:

-discussions of the status of Garabagh can not be held without participation of Azerbaijani community and such discussions are illegal;

-the right of Azerbaijanis, who turned into internally displaced persons, to return to their houses is unquestionable.

It should be reminded that the Forum sent a letter of protest to the Europarliament regarding the report on South Caucasus and called upon Azerbaijani students in Europe to send letters of protest to the European Parliament, as well.

The protest campaign was fruitful and promoted the introduction of paragraphs, meeting Azerbaijan's interests, to the report.

Moreover,  four European deputies suggested to include references to the resolutions of the UN Security Council regarding occupation of Azerbaijani lands by Armenia during the session of the Europarliament Committee for International Relations.

According to the Forum's press service, the report will be presented for voting during the plenary session of the Europarliament in January of 2008 and will be awarded the status of the Europarliament resolution after ratification.
