YEREVAN. – The 35th Meeting of the Council of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs from the Member States of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) was held in Belgrade, the capital city of Serbia.

At the event, the delegation from Armenia was led by Deputy Foreign Minister Ashot Hovakimian, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.

In his address, Hovakimian noted that Armenia continues its efforts toward the promotion of regional economic cooperation, implementation of the BSEC program agenda, and encouragement of investment.

And in response to the baseless accusations made during the address by Azerbaijani Deputy FM Mahmud Mammad-Guliyev, Ashot Hovakimian noted that the attempts to politicize the BSEC organization are impermissible.

Also, the Armenian deputy FM stressed that the BSEC is not the platform where, stemming from domestic political motives, attempts can be made to present matters that have nothing to do with the mandate of this organization in a distorted fashion, and to make them a subject of discussion.
