THE MARMARA GROUP FOUNDATION
GRANTED MEMBERSHIP BY PABSEC
Marmara Group Foundation was
accepted as “the Observer
Member” to the PABSEC, the body
that has been continuing its
works on the level of
parliamentarians since 1993.
Speaking on the occasion of the
first-ever admission of a
non-governmental organization
(NGO) as an observer to the
PABSEC, the President of the
Marmara Group Foundation, Dr.
Akkan Suver, said
“We have successfully
represented our country as an
NGO on numerous occasions for
the past 21 years. We are
currently representing our
country in the United Nations,
UNESCO and Organization for
Security and Cooperation in
Europe (OSCE) with the status of
“consultative member”. In
addition, we are a principal
member in the Balkan Politics
Club.
The PABSEC has been
participating in and
contributing to our Eurasian
economic summits that we have
been organizing successfully for
9 years.
Shortly after the 9th Eurasian
Economic Summit this year, we
applied to the PABSEC as an NGO
for “observer membership”.
As Azerbaijan was the term
president of the body, I have
delivered a speech introducing
our foundation in the
Azerbaijani National Assembly
before the representatives of 12
countries. Afterwards, our
“observer membership” to the
PABSEC was approved unanimously.
The members of our Executive
Council, Engin Koklucinar, Ogan
Soysal, Samil Avrim and Cengiz
Guldamlasi also participated in
the assembly.
We are very glad for we have
been able to realize this
outstanding attempt in terms of
the Turkish civil society
movement with the aim of
contributing to the promotion of
our country as an NGO and
supporting and serving the
improvement of relations between
the countries of the region.
This success and pleasure belong
to the Turkish civil society.”
