Azeri Ombudsperson, MPs Visit Georgia

Azerbaijani Ombudsperson Elmira Suleymanova and a group of Azeri parliamentarians will arrive in Georgia on December 13, following recent concerns expressed by Azeri non-governmental organizations over human rights violations of ethnic Azerbaijani minority groups in Georgia.

Zaur Khalilov of the Tbilisi-based NGO Public Movement Multinational Georgia and representatives of the Azeri community in Georgia told Civil Georgia that the Azerbaijani delegation will visit the Marneuli district, which is predominantly populated by the ethnic Azerbaijanis, on December 14.

The delegation will also hold talks with Georgian parliamentarians during the visit.
