Caucasus (CNGOC), the chairman of the board of the CNGOC, Sahriyar
Rasulov, said today, Trend reports.

He said that the confederation was set up two years ago and comprises
272 NGOs, of which 203 are Azerbaijani, 23 Armenian and the rest
Georgian.

Rasulov added that the confederation could be joined by organizations
which recognize and respect the territorial integrity of regional
states on the basis of international legal norms. Of many Armenian
NGOs which applied for membership of the organization, 23 accepted
these conditions and were therefore admitted to the CNGOC.
