Armenian delegations to the international forums must act in the interests of their own state, Armenian National Assembly Speaker Tigran Torosian said when commenting on the statements by some Georgian officials who accused the Armenian parliamentary delegation of foiling the conclusion of the resulting communiqué of the South Caucasus Parliamentary Initiative winter session.

In his words, the accusations are conditioned by the fact that the Armenian delegation did not fulfill 'wishes' of the Georgian party. Certainly, Torosian said, it would be gratifying if the interests of Armenia and Georgia coincided. "However the Georgian parliamentarians wish decisions beneficial to them were adopted each time, without thinking whether their position corresponds to Armenia's interests," the Speaker resumed.

To remind, chairman of the Georgian parliamentary committee on foreign affairs Konstantin Gabashvili accused the Armenian delegation in foiling the conclusion of the resulting communiqué of the South Caucasus Parliamentary Initiative winter session. The Armenian side did not support Georgia's proposal to include the item on xenophobia in Russia as regards Georgians and natives of Caucasus and offered to use term 'a number of states' instead of 'Russia'. Besides, Georgia stands for settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict within the framework of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity.
