Goran Lindblad calls for EU pressure to resolve Karabakh conflictJanuary 11, 2011 - 12:13 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Ex-head of Political Affairs Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), Goran Lindblad is to launch a project, which will allow European politicians and organizations to get better acquainted with the current stage of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. The project will be implemented under the coordination of Azerbaijani-European community (TEAS), based in London. "The project includes meetings with my colleagues in the European Council and European Parliament. I have already discussed it with politicians from Finland, Belgium, Netherlands and Spain, and I am planning to appeal to all members of the EU and PACE,” Lindblad said. The main objective of Lindblad’s project is to strengthen the propaganda among European policy makers regarding resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, the level of which in his opinion, is still low due to lack of pressure from the EU. The only way to reach a progress is to raise awareness about the conflict, according to Lindblad.
