Petros Efthymiou: MPs raise awareness about OSCE work for lasting peace

PanARMENIAN.Net - OSCE Parliamentary Assembly President Petros Efthymiou laid out a vision to strengthen the world's largest regional security organization during a speech before the Organization's diplomatic body, the Permanent Council.

Dwelling on Karabakh settlement, Mr. Efthymiou noted, “the excellent discussions we had with the Co-Chairs of the Minsk Group and the CiO’s Special Representative on the Conflict dealt with by it, last month in Dubrovnik, – coupled with our work in Moldova – are indicative of our commitment to strengthen the OSCE’s work on conflict resolution.”

“Governments conclude accords for peaceful solutions to conflicts, but it is parliamentarians who build the public support for these solutions, foster understanding about diplomatic processes, and raise public awareness about OSCE work toward lasting peace,” he stressed, according to OSCE PA official website.
