ArmInfo. "Security for all is an indispensable element of any
settlement", says the European Parliament’s Report "On the need
for an EU Strategy for the South Caucasus" by Bulgarian MP Evgeni
Kirilov in the chapter about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which
will be presented on May 20 during the plenary session of the European
Parliament.

The document recognises the importance of adequate peacekeeping
arrangements in line with international human rights standards that
involve both military and civilian aspects; calls on the Council to
explore the possibility of supporting the peace process with Common
Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) missions, including sending a
large monitoring mission on the ground that could facilitate the
establishment of an international peacekeeping force, once a political
solution is found. The document also welcomes the dynamic pace of the
negotiations on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and fully supports the
mediation efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group.
