Armenian Speaker accuses Georgia
[ 22 Dec. 2006 15:08 ]
"Armenian delegations to the international forums must act in the
interests of their own state," Armenian Parliament Speaker Tigran
Torosian said while commenting on the statements by Nino Burjanadze who
accused the Armenian parliamentary delegation of foiling the conclusion
of the resulting communique of the South Caucasus Parliamentary
Initiative winter session, APA reports.
He said that it would not be bad if the interests of Armenia and
Georgia coincided.
"But Georgian side wishes decisions beneficial to them were adopted
each time. And this case they do not take into consideration whether
their position corresponds to Armenia's interests," the speaker stated.
It should be noted that, Final Communique was not adopted in the last
meeting of South Caucasus Parliamentary Initiative. Georgia blames
Armenia for this, Georgian parliament's speaker Nino Burjanadze said.
The meetings of the South Caucasus Parliamentary Initiative are held
twice a year. Though Georgia offered the clause concerning the increase
of xenophobia tendencies against Georgians and the representatives
of other Caucasian nations in Russia, Armenia did not agree to
it. Armenian parliamentarians offered to substitute the word "Russia"
by "in a number of countries" in the suggested clause. But Georgia did
not accept Armenians' offer, so the final document was not signed. Nino
Burjanadze estimated Armenia's position as an unpleasant fact form the
point of view of formation of unique principles of the region. /APA/
