Based on many precedents, Karabakh people have a right to self-determination, Washington College of Law's professor Paul Williams said during a roundtable discussion in the European Parliament.

Karabakh has earned sovereignty and built effective institutions for a number of years, free and fair elections, he said during “Remedial Secession in Theory and Practice: The case of Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh)” conference.

The conference organized by the Armenian organizations was hosted by European Parliament members Michèle Rivasi (Verts/ALE) and Lars Adaktusson (EPP).
