'Our organization and parties that are part of it participated in the resolution of most conflicts in the world, which is why we must apply this policy in the Caucasus, that is the conduction of the political dialogue', Ayala said at a news conference in Baku.
He noted that Socialist International has sufficient potential to contribute to conflict settlement.
'The unsettled conflict causes tensions among people living on both sides of the front. We are concerned about the state of displaced persons. International community must take a more active part in the resolution of this conflict. It is necessary to find a mechanism for conflict settlement which could involve everyone', he said.
He said Socialist International is ready to contribute to the process of the peaceful resolution of the Karabakh conflict.
'Peace is not everything but it is impossible to gain anything without peace. It is necessary to find a political approach satisfying all parties and make mutual concessions', he said.
He said this issue will be among the priority on the agenda of the committee session on Eastern Europe, South Caucasus and Black Sea region to be held in Baku in October.
Ayala called the visit to Azerbaijan within the framework of which he held meetings with President Ilham Aliyev and FM Elmar Mammadyarov to be positive and effective.
