"Mr President, violence in this conflict cannot offer a solution. A solution should be sought not by military means, but by way of politics and -diplomacy, but one of the key problems is that the leaders on both sides – and I mean on both sides – are in a weak position. Despite this, there still seems to be goodwill, as is evident, among other things, from the proposal to release a number prisoners from each side.
The European Union should play a pioneering role, much more so than it has done to date. We are, after all, the region’s key trading partner. I would therefore argue in favour of working for peace from this House, this Parliament, even though it appears that Parliament is becoming increasingly divided into two camps. It is not up to us in the European Parliament to fan the flames through all kinds of unilateral actions. On the contrary, we must use our joint goodwill and energy much more to help establish reconciliation and lasting peace. That is the Parliament’s task."@en1
