BAKU SHOULD PAY COMPENSATION TO ARMENIANS, WHOSE PROPERTY WAS ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED, UN COMMISSION DOCUMENT SAYS

The UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights is concerned about “the illegal occupation by refugees and internally displaced persons of properties belonging to Armenians and other ethnic minorities,” say the Concluding Observations of the UN ECOSOC, adopted November 26. “The Committee recommends Azerbaijan to take corrective measures to ensure that Armenians and other ethnic minorities whose properties are illegally occupied by refugees and internally displaced persons be provided with adequate compensation or offered alternative accommodation,” the document says.
