ArmInfo.At the solemn meeting of the BSEC PA, timed to the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the declaration of this structure, issues related to the further development of the organization were discussed. This May 21 at a press conference said the head of the Armenian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Gagik Minasyan.
Minasyan also noted that, in particular, the meeting discussed the achievements of the structure over the past 25 years, and how the organization will develop in the future. As the head of the Armenian delegation said, there were many proposals, and most of the BSEC member countries presented their approaches to the development of the organization. "As a result, two different approaches emerged, one was presented by the Armenian delegation and another by the Ukrainian delegation, in particular, the Ukrainian delegation stated that the BSEC should be very active and put forward issues related to the recognition of the territorial integrity of the member countries of the organization, and issues within the framework of an international legal settlement, in turn, the Armenian delegation opposed the politicization of the BSEC, noting that this organization should have an exclusively economic significance. There are other organizations that deal with such issues with a politically-legal bias, "Minasyan stressed.
Minasyan stressed that the proposal of the Armenian delegation was accepted in contrast to the proposal of the Ukrainian delegation. The head of the Armenian delegation also noted that his speech prevented the Turkish delegation from giving unilateral assessments regarding the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
