    Azerbaijani Ombudsman Considers Groundless the Accusation by Migration
    Service of Armenia

    Azerbaijan, Baku, 21 June/ corr. Trend News I.Alizade / Ombudsman of
    Azerbaijan, Elmira Suleymanova, considers groundless the lawsuit on
    $5mln which is envisaged to be made by the migration service of
    Armenia with regards to Azerbaijan.

    `The Armenians residing in Azerbaijan took their key
    properties while leaving the Country. They removed, selling their
    properties left in Azerbaijan,' Suleymanova briefed the
    media on 21 June in Azerbaijan's city of Guba.

    The migration service of Armenia states that the Armenians leaving
    Azerbaijan lost key part of their properties, and as a result, $5mln
    material damage was inflicted to them. Due to it, the service plans to
    submit a lawsuit against Azerbaijan to the International Court.

    Suleymanova said that according to official data, as a result of
    military aggression of Armenia, $60bln damage was inflicted to
    Azerbaijan.

    `As a result of this aggression, the Azerbaijanis incurred
    ethnic cleansing, and serious damages were inflicted to the
    environment and nature of Azerbaijan. The losses of Azerbaijan as a
    result of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are inestimable,'
    Suleymanova said.

    Nearly 1mln Azerbaijanis incurred ethnic cleansing in Armenia in
    1988-1989.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries appeared in 1988
    due to Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenia has
    occupied 20% of the Azerbaijani lands including the Nagorno-Karabakh
    region and its seven surrounding districts. Since 1992 to the present
    time, these territories have been under Armenian occupation. In 1994,
    Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a cease-fire agreement at which time the
    active hostilities ended. The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group (
    Russia, France and USA) are holding peaceful negotiations.
