Recommendation 2260 (2023)1Provisional version

Humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh

Parliamentary Assembly

1. Referring to Resolution 2517 (2023) “Humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh”, the ParliamentaryAssembly invites the Committee of Ministers to take urgent measures to address and redress the exodus ofthe almost entire Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh and the critical humanitarian and human rightscrisis affecting them in the months before and immediately after the military operation launched by Azerbaijanon 19 September 2023. It is deeply concerned by a situation which seems, at the very least, to invitesuspicions of many aspects of ethnic cleansing.

2. Regretting that Azerbaijan has not respected the commitment it undertook when it joined the Council ofEurope to peacefully settle the conflict in this region, as stated in Opinion 222 (2000), the Assembly believesthat it is not too late for Azerbaijan to redress the situation and prove its intention towards the Armenianpopulation of Nagorno-Karabakh.

3. To this end, the Assembly requests that the Secretary General and the Committee of Ministers doeverything possible to organise a Council of Europe fact-finding mission to Azerbaijan as swiftly as possible,with the aim of assessing and outlining the measures to be put in place to protect the rights of the Armeniansof this region including those who have sought refuge outside the country, and to ensure the safe return ofthose who so wish. Such on-the-ground fact-finding would help in determining what support the Council ofEurope can provide to this process, including expertise on minority issues and confidence building measures.This process should doubtless include immediate measures to register and protect the property and assets ofthose who are currently seeking refuge outside the country and to facilitate access to relevant international ornational procedures, in particular in Azerbaijan.

4. The Assembly also calls on the Committee of Ministers to:

4.1. establish country monitoring for Azerbaijan under its 1994 Declaration on compliance withcommitments accepted by member States of the Council of Europe;

4.2. consider initiating the complementary joint procedure in response to a serious violation byAzerbaijan of its Statutory and accession commitments.

5. Acknowledging the huge humanitarian crisis which Armenia is facing with the arrival of more than100 600 Armenian refugees, the Assembly welcomes the ongoing fact-finding mission to Armenia by theSpecial Representative of the Secretary General on Migration and Refugees, which aims to determine thesupport which the Organisation could provide to its member State in assisting these refugees.

6. Recognising the gravity of the situation, the Assembly will remain vigilant as to the next measures takenby the Azerbaijani authorities and to the follow-up given to Resolution 2517 (2023), basing itself in particularon the need to ensure full and unambiguous honouring of the international commitments and obligationsentered into by, and incumbent upon Azerbaijan.

1. Assembly debate on 12 October 2023 (23rd sitting) (see Doc. 15840, report of the Committee on Migration, Refugeesand Displaced Persons, rapporteur: Mr Domagoj Hajduković). Text adopted by the Assembly on 12 October 2023(23rd sitting).
