The 28th plenary sitting of the General Assembly of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Organization for the Black Sea Economic Cooperation
(PA OBSEC) has been held at the highest level, Azerbaijani MP Asif
Hajiyev, Vice-Chairman of PA OBSEC has said during the
press-conference at the end of the Session, Trend reports.
He also touched upon Armenia’s non-participation in this meeting and
assessed it as a repeated proof of the non-constructive positions of
Armenians. Mr. Hajiyev said that invitations had been sent to all the
member-states of the Organization. For its part, Azerbaijan took part
in the 27th session of the General Assembly held in Armenia, and
proved once more that our country was the supporter of conflicts
settlement peacefully through negotiations.
Mr. Hajiyev said that during the Session of the Organization, three
kinds of issues were discussed: political, economic, and cultural
cooperation between the member-states of the Organization. He said
that the Organization’s future would be bright, and holding the last
session of PA OBSEC gave grounds to make such a conclusion. The
Representative of the Organization is sure that the Organization
could have its influence on processes happening in the Black Sea
region.
David Saganelidze, Vice-Chairman, Head of the Georgian delegation to
PA OBSEC, also touched upon an issue on frozen conflicts, and
particularly marked the Georgian-Abkhazian and the Georgian-South
Ossetian conflicts. He expressed his regrets that PA OBSEC was just
an economic organization, and solving these issues were not the
responsibilities of the Organization. `We only hope that this and
other international organizations could find a joint approach in the
issue of the above-mentioned conflicts. But, unfortunately, there
have been no real concrete decisions of these issues’, emphasized Mr.
Saganelidze.
Representatives of the other delegations also expressed their
opinions on the issues and ideas discussed during the Session.
