2024-05-22 16:08

The AIR Center’s new report sheds light on the deportation of Azerbaijanis from Armenia and lays out in clear terms the policy proposals for the return of Azerbaijanis to their homeland. The report is a clear wake-up call for international policymakers and experts who raise the issue of Armenians returning to the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan while turning a blind eye to the fate of Azerbaijanis forcefully expelled from Armenia.

The report consists of five separate sections. The first section will offer an in-depth overview of the issue, followed by a historical assessment tracing the historical roots of the problem in the second section. The following section will present and interpret information from group data and survey, findings, supported by interviews with people able to shed light and express their views on key issues and potential future modification of the policy. Afterwards, several solutions to the underlying issues will be proposed. This has helped establish a preliminary framework for the return of Azerbaijanis to Armenia, which crucially involves the establishment of a joint commission, the provision of adequate housing, the guarantee of access to basic services, the facilitation of economic reintegration, the restitution of stolen property, and the promotion of inter-community dialogue. Finally, in the concluding sections, an evaluation of the policy’s usefulness, rationality, adaptability, and efficacy will follow. Relevant recommendations, deduced from the analysis of the policy’s effectiveness, will be offered in the conclusion. It should also be noted that the evaluation will take into consideration the political ramifications of the proposed alternatives, ensuring an all-encompassing review of a policy that should result in the formalization of the return of Azerbaijanis to their respective homelands.
