On November 25 a number of young people with candles and posters walked
from the Cascade to the Republic Square, towards the Foreign Ministry,
and read an open letter to the RA Foreign Minister. The participants
of the march wanted more women specialists to participate in the
process of settlement of the Karabakh conflict.
"It can play a major role in the settlement of the conflict",
said the members of the women's coalition "Women for peace in South
Caucasus". They reminded Vardan Oskanyan that in 1991 the RA ratified
the convention eliminating all the forms of discrimination against
women. The participants of the march asked the Foreign Minister to
support the women in having their contribution to the settlement of
the conflict.
By the way, both women and men participated in the march. They
distributed leaflets to the passers-by which said, "The voice of the
women should be heard", "Not only warriors, but peace-keepers are
needed for long-lasting peace", and "Where are you, women?".
