Absence of Azeris didn't affect conference activity, its efficiency
A news conference marked today the end of the 2-day conference on
`Security and Information Cooperation Issues in the South Caucasus'
with participation of media representatives and political experts from
Armenia, Russia, Georgia, and initiated by the information and public
relations center of the Armenian President's Administration and RIA
Novosti Russian news agency.
The head of the information and public relations center of the
Armenian President's Administration Ara Saghatelyan commented on the
reasons why, though invited by RIA Novosti, Azerbaijani
representatives didn't participate in the conference, which raised
South Caucasus issues.
The latter commented on the issue from two points of view: how Azeris
explained their absence and what his personal disposition on the issue
is.
`Their participation would make the conference activity more
efficient, though, they explained they didn't attend it for being busy
with preparations for the upcoming parliamentary elections in
Azerbaijan,' Saghatelyan said.
As to his disposition on what hindered Azerbaijani side to participate
in the works of the already 5th conference held in Yerevan, A.
Saghatelyan highlighted:
`I would find it hard to introduce a country the Foreign Ministry of
which is busy with making some black lists, while hatred to Armenians
is propagated on state level. They didn't come and now they are
looking for explanations.'
However, the absence of Azeris in no way could affect the conference
activity and, in particular, its efficiency, as both A. Saghatelyan
and Alan Kasayev, the head of RIA Novosti division for the CIS and
Baltic States, expressed satisfaction with the conference activity.
What was achieved? First, a number of documents, as well as mechanisms
for spreading and investing these, directed to ensuring information
security and cooperation in the South Caucasus. In this context
significant was the endorsement of `Yerevan Declaration' on
information cooperation.
In the declaration Armenian, Russian and Georgian representatives
signify the necessity of the existence of joint information projects
and voice readiness to support in calling these to life.
`This aims at making the region more secure,' A. Kasayev underscored.
