Baku hosts international forum of BSEC think tanks organized by Center
for Strategic Studies
Baku. Shamil Alibeyli - APA. The international forum of think tanks of
the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization (BSEC) member states
is organized by the Center for Strategic Studies under the President.
Addressing the opening of the forum moderated by MP Rasim Musabeyov,
chief of the Presidential Administration Political Analysis and
Information Provision Department Elnur Aslanov said that Azerbaijan
accounts for 75% of economy and 65% of population in the South
Caucasus: `Azerbaijan is the major transport corridor connecting West
and East and it is very difficult to implement regional projects
without Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is becoming the center of political and
economic, as well as inter-religious and intercultural debates.'
Aslanov also touched on the situation in the South Caucasus and Black
Sea countries.
`This is the area where there are separatist tendencies. And Armenia
has become a state playing the role of cancerous tumor in the South
Caucasus. Illicit drug and arms trafficking here is not controlled by
the international community. Therefore, it is inevitable that sooner
or later Armenia will fall. Withdrawal of Armenian armed units from
Azerbaijani territories must be ensured basing on the four resolutions
of the UN. We would like Armenia to become a state making efforts in
establishing peace and stability in the region. But there exist
difficulties in this regard. Nevertheless, we hope for peaceful
solution of the conflict. If it does not happen, Azerbaijan has great
opportunities provided by the international law to liberate its
territories,' he said.
SAM Director Farhad Mammadov spoke about the importance of the event.
Touching on the situation in the region, he underlined that Azerbaijan
has the biggest conflict in the region.
Following this, the participants of the event made speeches on the
topics discussed. The international forum will be continued with panel
discussions and end tomorrow.
