Georgia bureau of APA reports that, addressing the conference, speaker of Georgian parliament Nino Burjanadze stressed that, one of the important goals of the event is to give priority to the co-operation between our countries: "Now we are integrating into European Union, NATO and other structures. The decisions of parliament play important role in carrying out reforms and development of democracy in our countries. However, the conflicts in the South Caucasus pose obstacles to build the society we need. If all of the three South Caucasus states speak in the same political language no country can dictate imperial interests to us. The solution is through dialogue only."
