2.3       Bilateral and multilateral cooperation

In addition to international support such the European Neighbourhood Instrument, bilateral and multiparty agreements also give provisions for water cooperation in the Region (UN, 2007; FAO, 2009; Taslakyan, 2014; Yildiz, 2017). Some of the countries already develop joint monitoring systems, exchange information, and implement activities on water pollution prevention and control, water flow regulation in transboundary river basins. For instance, Ukraine and Republic of Moldova signed a bilateral treaty for the Dniester basin in 2012 to provide a framework for cooperation in various areas of water resources management (UNECE, 2012b).

There are also bilateral agreements for managing water resources in the transboundary basins of the Aras and Kura rivers among Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan (Winston et al., 2015; Taslakyan, 2014; Yildiz, 2017).
