The summit dedicated to the 20th anniversary of establishment of
the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization (BSEC) took place
in Istanbul on June 26. The Armenian delegation was headed by Deputy
Foreign Minister Ashot Hovakimyan.
Speaking at the summit, the Deputy Foreign Minister emphasized
the achievements and progress registered over the past 20 years,
particularly the adoption of the BSEC economic agenda. He referred
to the role of the organization on the international arena and the
necessity of its compliance with the modern demands of international
cooperation.
In response to the groundless accusation of the Azerbaijani President
against Armenians, Ashot Hovakimyan said: "According to the basic
documents of BSEC, the organization should stay in the limits of its
economic mandate and cannot become a platform for political discussions
and accusations. The BSEC summit is not a proper place to discuss the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict. The OSCE Minsk Group is the only agreed
format for the negotiations on the Karabakh issue."
