    PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF BILL "ON NKR CITIZENSHIP" HELD IN YEREVAN

    Noyan Tapan News Agency, Armenia
    Nov 30 2006

    YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 30, NOYAN TAPAN. On the initiative of Refugees and
    International Law Network of Civil Society a bill "On NKR Citizenship"
    was worked out, which will be submitted to NA for consideration
    taking into account all observations. To recap, the Refugees and
    International Law Network of Civil Society includes a number of NGOs
    uniting hundreds of Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan.

    As Eleonora Asatrian, Chairwoman of Assistance to General Quality
    Management organization making part of the Network, the bill, in
    particular, envisages that Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan will
    receive a compensation in return for their lost property. She said
    that the Network has applied to Azerbaijani President with a proposal
    to solve the problem of compensation, but no answer was received.

    Currently the refugees try to solve their problems through NKR as
    the only legal successor of Azerbaijani SSR having a resource in the
    form of territories under control, which is rather natural from legal
    point of view.

    It was mentioned at the press conference that the bill also envisages
    immediate right of receiving NKR citizenship automatically, by their
    birth, as well as by Armenians who are former citizens of Azerbaijani
    SSR, i.e. refugees.

    It was mentioned that granting citizenship will give an opportunity
    to Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan to immediately apply to NKR
    leadership with a request to assist them in compensation of losses
    sustained by them as a result of persecutions in Azerbaijan starting
    1988.
