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.
