    BAKU ACCUSES YEREVAN OF BRINGING SYRIAN ARMENIANS TO "OCCUPIED LANDS"

    BAKU. Apr 1

    Azerbaijan is distressed by the resettlement of Syrian Armenians to
    the "occupied lands."

    "The resettlement of Armenian refugees from Syria to the occupied
    territories of Azerbaijan conducted by the Armenian government in
    violation of international legal norms and principles is one of our
    concerns," Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the State Committee
    on Refugees and Displaced Persons and the Republican Commission on
    International Humanitarian Aid Ali Hasanov said.

    According to the official media, Hasanov made the statement at
    the Third International Humanitarian Pledging Conference for Syria
    in Kuwait.

    "We think that donations raised at the conference should be used
    exclusively to meet important humanitarian needs of Syrian refugees
    and to restore normal living conditions rather than serve the purpose
    of their illegal accommodation," he said.

    In the words of the vice-premier, Azerbaijan caries on humanitarian
    projects in over 30 states of Latin America, Africa and Asia and
    in a number of European and other countries despite global economic
    problems.

    "In continuation of its noble mission, Azerbaijan, which is a peace
    loving country which supports the territorial integrity, sovereignty
    and independence of Syria, is updating the total of material aid
    it will render to Syrian refugees for the improvement of their
    humanitarian position. Hopefully, the Syrian conflict will soon be
    peacefully resolved, and the refugees and displaced persons will
    return to their homes," he said.

    The Syrian conflict has lead to a major humanitarian catastrophe,
    the official continued. Millions of people, among them refugees
    and displaced persons whose rights are still violated, have found
    themselves in a difficult situation, he said.

    The conflict also has implications for the countries which have taken
    in Syrian refugees, Hasanov said.

    Azerbaijan has experienced a similar problem and it understands well
    the hardships of the Syrian people, he said.
