BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 29. The Ombudsperson of
Azerbaijan, Sabina Aliyeva, responded to the recent pro-Armenian
statement made by Marija Pejčinović Burić, the Secretary General of
the Council of Europe, regarding the Lachin road, Trend
reports.
She expressed concern over the statement, stating that it is not
based on facts.
The Ombudsperson reiterated that Azerbaijan has previously
stated that there are no obstacles on the Lachin road for the
passage of vehicles for humanitarian purposes. Azerbaijan ensures
the smooth passage of vehicles on this road for humanitarian
reasons, and there is no humanitarian crisis there.
She emphasized that such statements, which do not reflect
reality, increase tension in the region and hinder the peace
process. Additionally, the Ombudsperson drew attention to the issue
of mines in the liberated territories of Azerbaijan, which is
affecting the safe return of 100,000 people who were displaced from
their lands.
