"Mr President, it is true that the countries in our Eastern Neighbourhood are currently at a crossroads where there is a choice between development towards fully functioning democracies or stagnation. Civil society, non-governmental organisations and freedom of the media are extremely important, but we cannot start on anything else until we have ensured that there is peace and stability.
Several fellow Members have previously mentioned Nagorno-Karabakh and, fortunately, the tension that we all felt during the spring has not erupted and developed into something worse. It also showed that when we work together – that is to say, we in this House along with Baroness Ashton and Mr Füle – we can control the situation.
However, the fact that it is calmer at the moment does not mean that we can rest on our laurels. Instead, I would like to send out two messages from this Parliament: firstly, that Baroness Ashton should explain to us more often and more regularly what is being done in these frozen conflicts in particular and, secondly, that we must treat all frozen conflicts in the area in the same way.
This does not only apply to Nagorno-Karabakh. It also applies to South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Transnistria. The EU must take the same approach to all frozen conflicts and treat them all in the same way.
What is accepted as a solution in one country must also be accepted by others, both when it comes to terminology and when it comes to actions."@en1
