President of NATO Parliamentary Assembly Hugh Bayley said Karabakh conflict cannot be settled by force.

Speaking during the NATO PA seminar in Baku, Bayley called to solve the conflict through compromise.

“It is needed to know unambiguously that settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict through war is impossible. This problem should be solved through compromise,” APA agency quotes NATO PA President.

Although NATO does not participate in this process, he added the organization will continue its efforts in order to achieve mutual understanding: “We think that there should be confidence between the sides”.

The 2014 Rose-Roth Seminar of NATO dedicated to South Caucasus problems is being held in Baku on June 16-18.
