Politics

“There are conflicts in the region but the bases of the work of the Parliamentary Assembly of the BSEC must be the existing general values,” announced NA Speaker Tigran Torosyan summing up the work of the 27th BSEC plenary session.

Tigran Torosyan will deliver a press release today together with the heads of the Assembly delegations. Torosyan voiced hope that both the work in the scope of the Parliamentary Assembly and the heads of the delegations will contribute to the solution of the matters and conflicts existing in the region.

Asked the question what is the attitude of the heads of the delegations to Turkey’s attempt to omit Armenia from the regional economic projects the head of the Azei delegation answered that economic cooperation will be established between the two countries as soon as the Karabakh conflict is settled.

Head of the Russian delegation Alexander Zasokhov also underlines that first of all we must concentrate on conflicts and settle the current matters which unite the countries of the region. “I want to focus on the fact that the policy of restraint and tolerance was adopted.”

Gagik Minasyan, head of the Armenian delegation noted that Armenia is really left out from a number of regional issues and he expressed his regrets on this score. The steps taken in this sphere will later have their direct influence. I am convinced that one of the most important factors to settle the already existing conflicts is the mutually profitable economic cooperation.

The economic policy realized by our neighbors doesn’t contribute to the solution of the existing issues, on the contrary, it leads them to a deadlock.”

While speaking about the construction of the Kars-Akhalqalaq-Tbilisi-Baku railway Gagik Minasyan reminded that the official position of the BSEC Parliamentary Assembly was announced in the previous session which is as follows, while implementing regional projects not only the regional interests but also the interests of each country of the region must be taken into account.
