We are supporting Azerbaijan`s fair position in settlement of the conflict.” Baltic Assembly (BA) vice-president Raimonds Vejonis told at the meeting of Azerbaijan Parliament (Milli Majlis) Speaker Ogtay Asadov and the Baltic Delegation visiting Baku to attend the 5th session of GUAM PA.

Mr. Asadov echoed BA vice-speaker`s views, saying “Azerbaijan is also interested in progressing relations with Baltic Assembly both in GUAM; in bilateral and international levels.”
Milli Majlis Chairman noted BA is the first international supporter of GUAM, adding “Baltic Assembly once more proved its positive and fair position by supporting GUAM”.
“Our deputies are closely cooperating in the frames of both organizations.”

Further, they discussed issues such as perspectives of GUAM and Baltic Assembly`s cooperation, integration to Europe, progress of democracy, and a number of other issues of mutual interest.
