Head of the Armenian delegation in the Black Sea Economic Cooperation
organization Gagik Minasyan has been elected chairman of the BSEC PA's
economic, nature protection, trade and technology affairs committee.
The sitting of the committee was held October 12-13 in Tbilisi.
Speaking to reporters today, Gagik Minasyan noted that it is an
unprecedented fact. Member of the delegation, parliamentarian of the
Republican party's faction Areg Ghukasyan noted that there was no
such case in the history of the BSEC PA.
He said there was one issue: the Secretary General of the BSEC PA
addressed a letter to the Armenian delegation saying that it has never
happened that the same person is elected for the third time and this
issue would be taken into consideration during voting. "We responded
that the regulation does not ban such a thing," Ghukasyan said.
According to him, after the elections even Turks and Azerbaijanis
had to congratulate the chairman of the committee and the Georgians,
after getting known that Gagik Minasyan had been nominated, withdrew
the candidacy of their representative.
Nevertheless, at the BSEC PA session in Tirana the Armenian delegation
will offer restrictions so that one person is not elected thrice in
the office and Gagik Minasyan will be the only one who became head
of the committee for the third time.
