Shahumyan-Getashen refugees appeal to UN
SHAHUMYAN-GETASHEN BENEVOLENT ORGANIZATION--November 19, 2004
Letters have been sent on behalf of the deported Armenians of the Shahumyan and Getashen regions, immediately bordering Nagorno Karabakh, to the UN Secretary General, Mr. Kofi Annan and President of the UN's 59th General Assembly, Mr. Jean Ping. The letters reaffirm the rights of those who were forcibly removed from their homes in these and other regions and lost all their possessions, to defend themselves in the appropriate international organizations.

The Shahumyan-Getashen Benevolent Organization reserves for itself the right to speak on behalf of the tens of thousands of Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan, who are today deprived of the right to return to their homes and to their property.
