    On May 20, in the "Crescent Beach" hotel, with the support of NATO
    Public Diplomacy department, a 2-day seminar organized by the NATO
    Studies Center and Public Association "Women - Leaders" on the topic
    "Safety and Stability on Southern Caucasus".

    The president of the NATO Studies Center Vasile Sekares, the president
    of Public Association "Women - Leaders", MP Malahat Hasanova informed
    that the goal of the seminar consists in discussion of the questions
    concerning safety and stability on Southern Caucasus.

    The deputy foreign minister of Azerbaijan Araz Azimov has noted
    importance of safety and stability in expansion of regional
    cooperation, prompt integration into the Euro-Atlantic structures,
    and achievement by the countries of economic development. He also
    has emphasized necessity of safety and stability for full development
    of democracy in region. Democracy is closely connected to safety and
    stability. These factors should be provided in complex, he stressed.

    Azerbaijan, during the 14-years period of the independence has carried
    out significant work for maintenance of the said factors. However,
    conflicts existing in region interfere with its safety and stability,
    integration into the Euro-Atlantic structures, regional cooperation.

    >>From the point of view of regional cooperation, Azerbaijan together
    with Georgia has undertaken certain steps. Due to this, Southern
    Caucasus can play role of transit. However, Armenia as against
    Azerbaijan and Georgia, shows completely other position in regard

    cooperation. So, Azerbaijan, exporting power resources, and Georgia
    as the transit country, make contribution to development of region.
    Armenia exports instability.

    Caucasus influence safety and stability of Europe, and the region
