Bruno Pueza: The world community should not forget the problems of Azerbaijani refugees

19 June 2009 [13:46] - TODAY.AZ
In a global sense the International Day of Refugees is a day, aimed to make the international community remember people, who became displaced persons in the result of conflicts, said UN resident-coordinator in Azerbaijan Bruno Pueza.

According to him, some of these people have lived in hard conditions for many years, like we see it in Azerbaijan.

“And many countries, such as Azerbaijan, have been forgotten to some extent. Therefore, it is very important to remind the world about the problems of citizens that were forced to flee their homes. In this connection, this day is a sort of remembrance about the problems of these people, which must be settled and in a broader sense is a remembrance about the debt of every person to assist in returning these people to their native lands”, said Pueza.

On refugees in Azerbaijan, he said the living conditions of this category of people have improved dramatically.

“I mean that the Azerbaijani government has made huge investments to creation of new settlements, improvement of education, placing members of the IDP families as well refugees into jobs.

The international community has played a definite role in the start of this process, but recently these favorable achievements are an exclusive contribution of Azerbaijan”, concluded the resident-coordinator.
