The Council of Europe is going through a new stage in its activities and relations with its member States in terms that modern era and current developments require new approaches. Joint economic projects are now becoming the driving force behind the rapprochement of the member States and the formation of common views on the solution of political and humanitarian problems. In this regard, Azerbaijan has occupied an important place with many energy and transport projects of European and global importance implemented by it in recent years thus having grown into one of the most significant players in ensuring the progress and energy security of Europe.
Mr Huseynov
To ask the Committee of Ministers:
Given the fact that such an economic background which is vital for rapprochement of European countries along with deepening their co-operation and partnership, also carries a very serious political significance and burden, how is the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe ready to contribute to such kind of developments via performing its protective, supportive, and coordinating functions aimed at helping resolve political and humanitarian issues between member States and promote further mutual understanding?
