/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Now Azerbaijan and Armenia must work with their
societies more active for signing a peace treaty, EU’s Special
Representative for South Caucasus Peter Semneby stated. He thinks that
much can be done both by the Armenian and Azeri sides concerning the
settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

Commenting on OSCE PA President Goran Lennmarker’s statement that
after parliamentarian elections in Armenia a peace treaty can be
signed on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, Peter Semneby
stressed that it demands courage from both parties.

"Almost two decades after the rise of the conflict it’s time for the
sides to seriously deal with the issue to sign a peace agreement. We
hope, basing on those principles and ideas that we offered last year
and the last meeting between Presidents I. Aliev and R. Kocharian in
Minsk it will be possible to reach an agreement,’ Peter Semneby stated,
