BAKU (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 14th December, 2018) The Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) should not be a platform for political rows and score-settling, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Friday.
"Unfortunately, the situation in the Black Sea Region has recently degraded. It is important to reverse this trend and work on turning the Black Sea Region into a zone of peace, stability, and prosperity ...
