    27th Plenary Session of Interparliamentary Assembly of Commonwealth
    of Independent States in Saint Petersburg

    National Assembly, Armenia
    Nov 17 2006

    On November 16 the 17th plenary session of CIS IPA began its work in
    Tavricheskiy Palace in Saint Petersburg. Mr. Sergey Mironov, Chairman
    of IPA CIS Council delivered a welcoming speech and assured that the
    cooperation has proved its efficiency in free trade, fight against
    organized crimes, drug business and terrorism and in development of
    different forms of humanitarian cooperation. He also noted, that the
    main theme of the 27th plenary session is the 15th anniversary of CIS,
    the results of interparliamentary cooperation and the perspectives.

    For the first time the Speaker of the Parliament of the Islamic
    Republic of Afghanistan Mr. Mohammad Yunus Qanooni was participating
    in the IPA CIS session. From the name of PABSEC, Mr. Mustafa Bash
    made a welcoming speech and wished success.

    The President of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Mr.
    Tigran Torosyan noted in his speech, that after the collapse of the
    USSR the countries turned out to be in a difficult situation and were
    forced to create new state and inter-state systems, economic relations,
    develop democracy and resolve problems, each of those being a serious
    complication for any country. The CIS has been useful in the resolution
    of these problems and has helped to work efficiently in creating
    legislation and solving the problems caused by the collapse of the
    USSR. Now one can record that the CIS is a real operating organization,
    which has great achievements. The Presidents of CIS countries work
    on reforms of CIS, and necessarily the Interparliamentary Assembly
    also has to work on these reforms because new time brings about new
    problems. The IPA CIS has been so strengthened, that it can become an
    arena for the debate of different issues, and for which new mechanisms
    and opportunities have to be created. During these years the countries
    have gained a rather big experience, which can be used in the CIS. In
    that context there is much work to do, because there are rather high
    results in economy, and a new situation is created, which requires
    new solutions, so the CIS would work due to time demands. In that
    context Mr. Torosyan emphasized the role of IPA CIS, which is of great
    significance in the life of CIS and in the establishment of national
    legislations, settlement of conflicts and establishment of regional
    peace. The President of the National Assembly wished success to the
    works and future activity of the Inter-parliamentary Assembly.

    Other Presidents of Parliament of member countries also had speeches
    at the IPA CIS plenary session.

    After the debate of the theme "Fifteenth Anniversary of CIS: Results
    of Inter-parliamentary Cooperation and Perspectives" the participants
    of the plenary session discussed issues concerning the adaptation of
    national legislation in the sphere of security. The participants of
    the session were presented recommendations on "Ensuring Legislative
    Regulation of Migration Processes in CIS member nations," on Model
    Environmental Code, Water and Education Codes and other issues. These
    and other draft laws were approved at the IPA CIS session and will
    be used in elaborating national legislations.

    The works of the 27th plenary session of IPA CIS were summed up at
    a joint press conference.

    The President of the National Assembly Mr. Tigran Torosyan had a
    tete-e-tete talk with the Chairman of the Federation Council of the
    Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation Mr. Sergey Mironov, during
    which they touched upon the works of IPA CIS, the meeting of four
    Caucasian countries and the forthcoming official visit of the President
    of the National Assembly to the Russian Federation and other issues.

    On the same day the meeting of four Caucasian countries took place,
    with the participation of the Presidents of Parliament of Armenia,
    Russian Federation, Georgia and Azerbaijan.
