As he told a news conference in Yerevan, the issue of organization’s new Secretary General election was discussed at PABSEC regular meeting in Kiev, on May 16-17. “Secretary General election is a very long and hard process,” Minasyan remarked, adding that Russia, Ukraine and Turkey, having the largest PABSEC delegations, wanted to make a decision themselves, thus stirring up resentment among other countries.
