Azerbaijani Human Rights Commissioner Sabina Aliyeva and
Estonian Chancellor of Justice Ülle Madise discussed prospects for
cooperation, Azernews reports.
The meeting took place within the framework of Aliyeva's
official visit to the capital of Estonia, Tallinn.
During the meetings, the sides exchanged views on the
competencies of the bodies they represent. Aliyeva gave information
about the activity of the institution, the round-clock Call
Center.
She also said that the silence of the international community
over crimes committed by Armenia against Azerbaijan and its failure
to take punitive action against Armenia resulted in new crimes.
During the meeting, detailed presentations were made on the
monitoring visits conducted by the Chancellor, control over the
collecting of information, and functions in the field of protection
of children's rights. The sides also discussed the activity in the
field of protection of the rights of convicts.
Later, the Ombudswoman met with Chairman of the Constitutional
Committee of the Estonian Parliament Eduard Odinets, and informed
him of the work done by the institution and its effective
cooperation with the parliament.
Noting Armenia's policy against Azerbaijan, Aliyeva stated that
Azerbaijan is always in favor of peace, but Armenia hinders this
process, by continuing its sabotage and mining until today, which
contradicts the peace initiatives.
She also touched upon the mine problem, which impedes the return of
the internally displaced persons, and the uncertainty, so far,
about the fate of almost 4,000 Azerbaijanis, who were reported
missing during the First Karabakh War.
At the end of the meetings, Aliyeva presented the institution's
printed educational materials translated into foreign languages, as
well as reports, statements, and appeals concerning human rights
violations, committed by Armenia during the war and in the post-war
periods.
Azerbaijan and Estonia cooperate in different sectors of the
economy and 2022 marks the 30th anniversary of establishing
diplomatic relations between the two nations.
The trade turnover between the two countries amounted to $6.1
million in 2021.
