It is our common responsibility to create efficient mechanisms that will prevent, condemn and provide punishment for this crime. This matter is also included in the United Nations General Assembly agenda. We believe that by combining our efforts we will be able to prevent any incidence of this gravest crime against the humanity. Among the strategic priorities of the Republic of Armenia is to absorb and reintegrate the hundreds of thousands of Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan back into Armenian society, to ensuretheir political freedoms and social rehabilitation and provide them with a sound hope that no member of our society faces the tragedy of uprooting and massive deportation. A country's standing with regard to human rights issues is not a matter of purely domestic concern.
Human dimension is among priorities of our policies in the region.
We see our role in this region as that of a stabilizer and advocate of human rights and fundamental freedoms. We are for peaceful resolutions of conflicts, for prevention of discrimination against national minorities, for protection of fundamental human rights throughout the region and elsewhere. And we believe that once such commitments are displayed by other States of the region, security, stability and consistent peace may become a reality. With global trends of integration in peace, no country can lead an isolated policy. We are facing the emergence of new realities where States become paralysed in providing solutions to their problems.
