Zitat:TIMUCIN POSTETE:Schon mal was von der ECO (Economic Cooperation Organization) gehört?
Eine eurasische Union, wenn sie auch nur wirtschaftlich ausgreifen würde, wäre eine bessere Lösung als ein Anhängsel der EU zu werden!
Türkei, Aserbaidschan, Kasachstan, Uzbekistan, Kirgizistan, Turkmenistan vielleicht auch noch als asoziierte Mitglieder Georgien und das iranischgeprägte Tadschikistan
*träum*
OK , Iran , Pakistan, Afghanistan und Tadcshikistan sind auch Mitglieder , aber es soll ja auch ein Gegengewicht zur Arabischen Liga sein...

Zitat:Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO), is an inter-governmental regional organization established in 1985 by Iran, Pakistan and Turkey for the purpose of sustainable socio-economic development of the Member States.
ECO is the successor organization of Regional Cooperation for Development (RCD) which remained active from 1964 up to 1979. In 1992, the Organization was expanded to include seven new members, namely: Islamic State of Afghanistan, Republic of Azerbaijan , Republic of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Republic of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Republic of Uzbekistan.
The ECO region is full of bright trading prospects. Despite its young age, ECO has developed into a thriving regional organization. Its international stature is growing. Nevertheless, the organization faces un-daunting challenges with respect to realization of its objectives and goals. Most importantly, the region is lacking in appropriate infrastructure and institutions which the Organization is seeking to develop, on priority basis, to make full use of the available resources in the region.
Over the past 11 years the member states have been collaborating to accelerate the pace of regional development through their common endeavors. Besides shared cultural and historic affinities, they have been able to use the existing infrastructural and business links to further fortify their resolve to transfer their hopes and aspirations into a tangible reality. ECO has embarked on several projects in priority sectors of its cooperation including energy, trade, transportation, agriculture and drug control.
