A/HRC/44/10
154.4
Stop violations of the right to property, freedom of movement and
other human rights of ethnic Azerbaijanis expelled from Armenia (Azerbaijan);
154.5
Uphold its obligations under international law and allow the return
of the Azerbaijani internally displaced persons to their places of origin in the
Nagorno-Karabakh region and other occupied territories of Azerbaijan
(Turkey);
154.6
Ensure respect for the rights of Azerbaijani refugees and internally
displaced persons expelled from Armenia and the occupied territories of
Azerbaijan to return to their places of origin in safety and dignity, and provide
the necessary compensation for violations of their rights (Turkey).
155. Armenia rejects the six recommendations above because it considers that they
(a) are in violation of the main principles and objectives of Human Rights Council
resolution 5/1, particularly paragraph 3 (g) of the annex on the non-confrontational
and non-politicized manner in which the universal periodic review should be
conducted; and (b) misinterpret the realities on the ground, as well as the essence,
causes and settlement process of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, in which the OSCE
Minsk Group Co-Chairmanship is the only internationally agreed format of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution. Additionally, Armenia states that Azerbaijan
repeatedly (a) rejected any cooperation with Armenia within the framework of the
universal periodic review in violation of paragraphs 3 (b) and 27 of resolution 5/1, as
well as (b) provided fabricated allegations and has been resorting to and encouraging
bellicose rhetoric and hate propaganda against the Armenians on the State level.
156. All conclusions and/or recommendations contained in the present report reflect
the position of the submitting State(s) and/or the State under review. They should not
be construed as endorsed by the Working Group as a whole.
