Of the Republic of Azerbaijan on the Occasion of 31 March – the Day of Genocide Against Azerbaijanis
STATEMENT of the Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsman) of the Republic of Azerbaijan on the Occasion of 31 March – the Day of Genocide against Azerbaijanis During past 200 years the massacre and deportation policy carried out by Armenian nationalists and their supporters against Azerbaijan are the painful pages in the history of our nation. The aim of this repulsive policy was to withdraw Azerbaijanis from their native lands by force, and to establish “Great Armenia” state that was made up by Armenian historians and ideologists. In the beginning of XIX century resettlement of ten thousands of Armenian families to Karabakh, and Zangezur from Iran and Turkey, their settlement on the historical Azerbaijani lands in Iravan province, Nakhchivan, Karabakh and other regions, resulted in changing of the ethnic content of the population deliberately in favour of the Armenians over the years of 1828-1830. As a result of mass annihilation and pundering committed by armenian armed groups in different parts of Caucasus, the rights of azerbaijanis deported from their historical lands within the territoriy of the Republic of Armenia in 1905-1907, 1918-1920, 1948-1953, 1988-1993 were grossly violated, they were subjected to ethnic cleansing accompanied by inhuman and degrading treatment. All the above mentioned facts, as well as large-scale war seeking the goal of tearing Nagorny Karabakh from Azerbaijan since 1988 and its bitter results continued even today are bloodstained pages of planned repulsive policy committed by Armenian nationalists against Azerbaijanis. As a result of this insidious policy historical Azerbaijani lands were occupied by Armenians from time to time, due to the Armenian aggression policy carried out against Azerbaijan since 1988, 20 percent of the country lands were captured, hundred thousands of Azerbaijanis became refugees and IDPs, ten thousands of people were killed.

Targeted policy implemented since 1993 under the leadership of the President of Azerbaijan Republic Haydar Aliyev have put an end to a social-economic crisis lasting during the first stages of the independence, paved the way for building democratic statehood and market economy in Azerbaijan. Reforms sistematically implemented in the country eliminated the lag of economy in the beginning of 90s and ensured transition to the new era of development. Policies implemented resulted in substaintial qualitative changes in the economy in a very short period of time: inflation was brought under control (since 1996, inflation rate in Azerbaijan has not exceeded 2-3%), National Bank stopped the practice of financing budget deficit, the share of budget deficit was brought below 1-2% of GDP. As a result of these changes, already in 1996, macroeconomic stability was achieved in a country experiencing deep economic crisis, starting next year, in 1997, it was possible to provide for dynamic economic development. As such, GDP growth rate in 1996 was 1.3%, in 1997 it was 5.8%, while the average growth rate during 1998-2002 comprised 10.0%. One of the most important results of consistent and systematic economic reforms have also been the accomplishments achieved in the area of privatization of state property and creation of enabling conditions for the development of free entrpreneurship.
