During its spring session on April 13 the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) urged Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia to continue their activities to work out a peaceful and lasting solution to disputes in various conflict zones of the region, which creates conditions for a voluntary return of refugees and displaced persons. The MPs hailed efforts of Azerbaijan, Armenia and, to a less degree, Georgia, who set about implementation of programs on refugee integration in local communities. At that PACE members emphasized that urgent humanitarian needs still remain and international assistance is necessary to meet these, reports the PACE communication department.
