During the 3rd plenary session of May 27-29 "Euronest" Parliamentary Assembly in Brussels as a result of work with the members of Armenia delegation and all the fractions it was possible to prevent the exclusion of initiatives contradicting the interests of Armenia. 

 

As the head of the delegation, Republican Artak Zakaryan said, before departing to Brussels he was not that optimistic, but the delegation was able to reach that in all four session the reports of Azerbaijan, Georgia and a number of other anti proposals were not presented. At the last moment the resolution of Azerbaijan on the limitation of water, concerning Sarsang reservoir, was removed.

 

Conventional changes were not made as well, which was prescribing the decision making with 2/3 votes instead of current majority, which could have been problematic for the Armenian side, taking into account GUAM factor, when Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldova vote the same way. 

 

Member of the delegation, the secretary of "Prosperous Armenia" faction Naira Zohrabyan, who is also a delegate to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, said. "Naturally, Azerbaijan is trying to use any project, any initiative of the commission to promote its country’s foreign policy interests." This Assembly is displaying the same style, again with Armenian rhetoric and distorted notions about Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. "Comparing PACE and Euronest I should say that, in contrast to PACE, in which, unfortunately, due to its lobbying activities Azerbaijan succeeded in changing the mood, the European Parliament is still able not to allow Azerbaijan make the Assembly the place to resolve the conflicts. 

 

It was also noted that next 4th meeting of "Euronest" will take place in Yerevan, in November 2012.
