15th summit of Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization (BSECO)
closed after one-day discussion in Istanbul today adopting a
declaration reflecting cooperation among member states in economy,
politics, culture and social fields. The summit separately discussed
organized crime and fight against terrorism.
The declaration also suggests that BSECO joins World Trade Organization
in order to eliminate restrictions between them.
In his speech, Azeri president Ilham Aliev said that Azerbaijan will
fulfill its obligations in terms of oil and gas supply. "Armenia has
occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan and has caused 1 000 000 Azeries
to migrate." "If the conflict is not settled by peaceful means,
it will be settled by other means," Aliev said.
Armenian foreign minister did not react to these high statements made
by Azerbaijan. Instead, he said lifting Armenia-Turkey border is the
best way to settle Armenian-Turkish relations.
