Georgian Speaker Urges South Caucasus States to Dialogue in "One Political Language"
Georgian Parliament Chair Nino Burjanadze urges countries of the South Caucasus to dialogue in "one political language." She stated it at the opening of an international conference of MPs of Baltic and South Caucasus states today. The conference within the framework of 3+3 initiative is organized by Marshall Center and is called to encourage exchange of experience between Baltic and South Caucasus states. The Baltic states will share their experience of accession to the NATO and the EU. South Caucasus is a more complicated region that the Baltic one, thus there are more obstacles to joint development, Burjanadze remarked. "The South Caucasus has inherited a hard legacy, our countries faced the threat of civil wars and armed conflicts," she stated. At that the Georgian Speaker remarked that if Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia start speaking the same "political language", third parties will not be able to realize their imperialist plans in the country, reported Kavkaz-Press.
