In the draft resolution, paragraph 15, replace the words "Meskhetian population" with the following words:

Explanatory note

This population has always been referred to as "Meshetian Turks" or "Ahiska Turks" in previous Assembly documents and other international organisations' texts. There is no reason for denying the identity of these people.
