Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO), based on
regional and multicultural cooperation, has focused on the
improvement of living standards, collective as well as
individual prosperity of people and economic development of
memberיs states. Since February 1992ECO has been expanded
to ten as the result of collapse of the Soviet Union. Of course,
gas and oil are very important factors in this regard. ECO has
followed its two major plans in the context of "Action Plan"
and "Istanbul Declaration". Each of these documents is an
indication of overall goals of this organization by 2005. One of
the most important goals of ECO members has been
accelerated of economic growthי and development. The main
question ofthis paper is:
"Has ECO been able to fulfill declared goals among
member states?" The hypothesis of this paper is: ECO has
failed to achieve these goals. Prove of this hypothesis makes
the revision ofECa activities a necessary step.
