At May 7 press conference the Head of the RA National Assembly
Delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly Koryun Nahapetyan and
the member of the Delegation Tevan Poghosyan touched upon the works of
the NATO PA 83rd seminar with the heading "South Caucasus:
Geopolitics, Euro-Atlantic Integration and Domestic Challenges"
convened in Tbilisi from April 29 up to May 1.
The Head of the NA Armenian Delegation Koryun Nahapetyan said that
during the three-day seminar numerous issues concerning the regional
problems, which in particular, were relating to the Russian-Georgian
relations, the strengthening of Georgia's democracy and
Armenia-Azerbaijan-Turkey relations. The NA deputy noticed that
irrespective of the direction of the issue under discussion, the
members of the Azerbaijani Delegation were raising the issue of "the
occupied territories" and making bellicose statements. According to
him, the Azerbaijanis' such efforts were failing as a result of
constructive position and adequate counter-attacks of the Armenian
Delegation.
Koryun Nahapetyan informed the journalists that during the discussions
on the theme "Armenia-Azerbaijan-Turkey: Perspectives of Regional
Reconciliation" they also touched upon the NK problem, and in their
speeches the members of the Delegation expressed conviction that it
was not possible to record serious moves in the negotiations, unless
Nagorno Karabakh itself had not been actively involved as a negotiator
party.
The member of the Delegation Tevan Poghosyan referred to Georgia's
inner and foreign policy, saying that in Georgia after the shift of
power the foreign political direction also had not been changed in
joining the NATO, and the daily problem of the economic development
continued to remain in the center of the attention of the power and
the opposition.
The Head of the NA Armenian Delegation to the NATO Parliamentary
Assembly also noted that within the framework of the seminar and
during the meetings with the Georgian Delegation the identity of the
Javakhk Armenians, problems relating to preserving their language and
culture and their development had been also discussed, and the
necessity of re-operating the Abkhaz railway had been touched upon.
The high ranking officials of the Georgian Government showed
constructive and concerned approach during the discussions.
