S Caucasus body may halt activity
The South Caucasus Parliamentary Initiative Group (SCPIG) may
suspend its activity, an Azerbaijani parliament member said.
Siyavush Novruzov, head of the Azerbaijani delegation in the SCPIG, said the move was due to the fact that despite several appeals, Armenia hasn't formed its delegation to the group so far.
Novruzov said Yerevan began to approach the SCPIG indifferently after the parliamentary elections held in this country in 2007. The leadership of the British non-governmental LINKS organization and several bodies of the European Union has officially appealed to the Armenian parliament with a request to express a position on the activity of the group. "However, Armenia hasn't replied to the appeals yet. Therefore, it is still uncertain whether or not the group will continue to operate," the MP said.
SCPIG was founded at the initiative of LINKS. Lawmakers from Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia - the three South Caucasus republics - are represented in the group.
