  1. “initiatives under the General Assembly agenda item on "Protracted conflicts in the GUAM. area and their implications for international peace, security and development". We fully support the appeal for peace by the Secretary-General, Mr. Antonio Guterres, made on 1 January 2017, and believe that through cooperation, joint efforts and political will, we can overcome the multitude of current challenges and pave the way for sustainable peace and development.”

  2. “member States, ensuring the de-occupation of the temporarily occupied territories, as well as safeguarding the fundamental right of internally displaced persons and refugees to a safe and dignified return to their places of residence, as a durable solution for forcibly displaced persons remains a key challenge to be addressed across the GUAM. area. Resolving armed conflicts is also a principal prerequisite for the successful implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which underscores that there can be no sustainable development without peace and no peace without sustainable development. In the face of daunting obstacles, the United Nations remains an indispensable forum for addressing the ever-complex challenges we are facing. For us, it is very important to obtain support for GUAM.”

  3. “member States strongly believe that the resolution of the conflicts on their territories within, as appropriate, the Geneva international discussions, the Trilateral Contact Group, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Minsk Group and the 5+2 talks on the Transnistrian settlement, exclusively on the basis of the norms and principles of international law - respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity and inviolability of the internationally recognized borders of States - are vital and imperative for sustainable peace and stability in the region. Meanwhile, the international community should be vocal and united in restoring the territorial integrity of GUAM.”

  4. “The existing conflicts on the territories of the Republic of Azerbaij an, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine undermine their sovereignty and territorial integrity and have adverse implications for peace, security and cooperation at both the regional and wider European levels. These conflicts have affected the lives ofmillions of people in the GUAM. countries - whether forcibly displaced, unable to return to their places of residence or residing in conflict-affected territories - who are in need of protection, assistance and support. The GUAM. member States are convinced that the peaceful resolution of those conflicts will contribute immensely to comprehensive and lasting security in Europe. The role of international mediation mechanisms in conflict prevention and peaceful resolution therefore become more critical. The GUAM.”

  5. “Let me assure the Council that we remain open to active, multifaceted cooperation based on shared principles and values. The achievements and successes registered in the fields of the major activities of the Organization have been significantly overshadowed by the unresolved conflicts in the GUAM. area, both protracted and newly emerged, which erode the security and stability system across Europe and beyond. Perhaps better than many others in this Chamber, the GUAM. member States, with their 60 million inhabitants, can testify to the threats and challenges that accompany conflicts.”

  6. “Since its establishment, the organization's activities have been aimed at fostering stability and regional cooperation in the Black Sea and Caspian region by promoting democracy, trade and economic development, and energy and transport links, as well as tourism and culture among GUAM. member States and their partners. This endeavour, in addition to the joint initiatives to counter terrorism and transnational organized crime, will ultimately contribute to the attainment of the purposes and principles of the United Nations. The role of GUAM. as an observer organization and its place in the network of regional cooperation has been acknowledged through the respective General Assembly biannual resolutions on cooperation between the United Nations and the Organization for Democracy and Economic Development - GUAM.”

  7. “Mr. Efendiev: I am honoured to speak on behalf of the Organization for Democracy and Economic Development-GUAM, which is a regional initiative of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine. At the outset, let me thank the delegation of Ukraine for having organized this high-level debate on "Maintenance of international peace and security: conflicts in Europe" and for providing us with an opportunity to add our voice and share our vision on this important topic from our particular region's perspective. This year GUAM. is celebrating its twentieth anniversary.”
