S.Agayeva / Valeriy Chechelashvili, the GUAM Secretary-General stated that the GUAM is to make every effort to gain more international support to solve territorial conflicts in the region, during the international conference dedicated to regulation of conflicts in GUAM areas.

"We will mobilize more international support to settle the conflicts on the basis of international law standards," Chechelashvili stated.

Chechelashvili stated the need to hold a so-called brainstorm to develop one strategy to settle the conflicts.

GUAM countries, ( Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldova) have submitted the project of resolution of General Assembly on frozen conflicts to UN.

GUAM calls nations the territorial integrity of countries where there have remained ethnical groups from the period of SSSR - Nagorno-Karabakh in Azerbaijan, Abkhazia and Tskhinvalia region in Georgia and Prednestroviye in Moldova.

In 1999, Uzbekistan joined the organization but left four years later. In 2006, at the first summit of the organization in Kiev a decision was made to announce GUAM as an international organization with a new name; Organization for Democracy and Economic Development - GUAM.
