Moscow. Roman Agayev â€“ APA. Azerbaijani delegation touched on Armeniaâ€™s aggression against Azerbaijan, occupied territories, problem of refugees and IDPs and other issues in every meeting of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC). APA reports that Azerbaijani MP, who attended the meeting of BSEC PA in Moscow, said at the briefing that the present agenda also included effective usage of natural resources, reservoirs.
â€œWe note that Armenia has occupied 17,000 sq km of our countryâ€™s territory, Azerbaijanâ€™s natural and cultural values have been destroyed, the aggressors have deliberately polluted Azerbaijanâ€™s reservoirs, the Araz river, arsons have been committed in the forests. BSEC adopts recommendations and we have amendments to these recommendations. We plan to make speeches in every committee. Of course, speaker Ogtay Asadovâ€™s speech also conceptually covers these issues,â€ he said.

Mubariz Gurbanli said BSEC PA has no right to impose sanctions against any country.
â€œBut despite the organization is of economic character, we always state that Armenia is aggressor,â€ he said.

Gurbanli said speaker of Azerbaijani parliament Ogtay Asadov met with speaker of Russian parliament Boris Gryzlov and speaker of the Turkish parliament Mehmet Ali Sahin. Ogtay Asadov will also meet with the parliamentary delegations of other countries.

Asked whether Ogtay Asadov would meet with speaker of Armenian parliament Ovik Avramyan, Mubariz Gurbanli said he had no exact information about it.
