The 58th Rose-Roth seminar of NATO’s Parliamentary Assembly has
focused on security in the South Caucasus. At the seminar, which is
held in Armenian MPs’ absence, representatives from many countries
spoke about the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict and the occupation of
Azerbaijani lands by the Armenian armed forces.

NATO Parliamentary Assembly Secretary-General Simon Lann said that
NATO and numerous international organizations were concerned about
the conflict region.

The research director of the Caspian Studies Program at Harvard,
Brenda Shaffer, disagreed with the phrase “the frozen conflict”. She
thinks that the people in the region are not ready for the settlement
of the conflict.
