"Today Armenia meets sharp environmental problems which like in some
other countries create social strain and hurt the development of
the social-economic field. That’s why in the project of "Environment
and security" we put the key point on the environmental problems,"
said the chairman of the OSCE Yerevan office Sergey Kapinos in a
conference with the journalists today.
According to him the works carried out on this regard are obvious in
the region. "By the initiative of the environment and security project
a branch opened in Syunik to try to regulate the environmental projects
there. Generally our mission is not just regulating the environmental
issues but to help the regional countries, I mean Armenia, Georgia
and Azerbaijan find the common topic and consider it," he said.
According to Kapinos, the regional countries have to deal not only
with the environmental issues but also with the political ones. "The
only reason why the region is less developed or it has problems with
the development is that they have political uncertainty and real
problems," said Kapinos.
