Armenian President Robert Kocharyan has called for promoting
regional cooperation without waiting for the settlement of the
existing conflicts in an address to the 27th plenary session of the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (PABSEC)
which opened in Yerevan on 7 June.

Armenia and Azerbaijan are in the state of war and therefore economic
cooperation between the two countries is impossible, the head of
the Azerbaijani delegation to the PABSEC, Asaf Haciyev, said at a
press conference which followed the session. The Azerbaijani MP also
stressed that constant mutual insults and accusations will not lead
to the settlement of the conflict and called on the Armenian side to
do its best to resolve the problem.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
