"On the positive side, the Gahrton report strongly criticises the European Union’s dangerous neglect of the strategic area of the South Caucasus, where there are many sources of potential conflict. Hence the need to promote the creation of a framework for security and cooperation in the region, in the form of, say, a stability pact. The rapporteur is sufficiently perceptive to see that such a pact requires a climate of confidence to be established and that it therefore has little chance of seeing the light of day so long as Turkey continues its incomprehensible blockade of Armenia and Ankara obstinately continues to deny the Armenian genocide, for example. In that regard, the Parliament’s 1987 resolution unfortunately retains all its relevance and it is appropriate that the report should refer to it.
On the down side, however, the report shows partiality, or at least inconsistency, about Nagorno-Karabakh: the reference to the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe is inconsistent with the demand for unilateral concessions.
It also seems to me that the desire to enshrine in international law a principle of the right of autonomy for minorities would be a threat to peace. The United Nations Charter refers to the right of peoples to self-determination."@en1
