There is no alternative to peaceful settlement of the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict, Co-Chair of the EU-Armenia Parliamentary Cooperation
Committee Marie-Anne Isler-Beguin stated in Yerevan, Regnum Information
Agency reports. In her words, both countries should learn to live
together.

The Armenian party has the will and aspiration for the conflict’s
peaceful settlement, she noted. “The right to self-determination is
an international right Nagorno Karabakh people can use. We hope the
Azeri party avows”, Isler-Beguin said. She expressed regret for the
