/PanARMENIAN.Net/ ARFD Youth Wing representative Artak Zargaryan
told a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent that the Black Sea conference
on "Cooperation of Democracy and Development" is being organized in
Armenia for the first time. Conference participants are members of
political parties and organizations represented in International Union
of Young Socialists (IUSY). "Before that, conferences in that format
were held in Georgia, Turkey and Azerbaijan. Armenia has never been a
hosting country since Azerbaijan and Turkey, its neighboring states,
were always against it."
According to Zargaryan, Azerbaijan has refused to participate in
the conference, arguing that such step will not be approved by the
country's nationalistic movements. "The Turkish side too, has turned
down our proposal, although it all the time speaks about cooperation
and establishment of ties," Mr. Zargaryan said.
The conference attended by socialist party representatives from
Armenia, Moldova, Ukraine, Georgia, Sweden, Spain, Greece, Iran,
Cyprus, Canada and Syria is taking place in Yerevan from May 24 till
27. The initiator is the ARFD youth wing.
