On December 15, in the Milli Majlis was held the 9th session of the Parliamentary Assembly (PA) of the GUAM. Participants of the event spoke about the role and authority of GUAM, with which want to cooperate many countries and international organizations. According to the vice-speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament Valeh Aleskerov, GUAM plays an important role in ensuring regional security. Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov, in turn, said that GUAM has become an important platform for cooperation among member countries. According to him, GUAM plays an important role in the settlement of the existing conflicts on the territory of the Member States. It should be noted that in recent years official Baku distanced GUAM activities, rather than to participate in them.

• Until 1999, the organization was also part of Uzbekistan.
• After 2008, the meeting of the GUAM member-states at the highest level was not held.--02D-
