Young people from Armenia arrived in Karabakh for a cognitive
visit. The purpose of the visit was to get in touch with their peers
in Karabakh. On May 11 the young people met with their peers in Hadrut
and talked about the post-election events in Armenia and the relations
between the Armenians of Armenia and Karabakh.
The impression was that the Armenians of Karabakh were to blame for the
events in Armenia, who tried to find excuses. With regard to the rule
of the so-called "Karabakh clan" one of the participants from Karabakh
said there are clans in other places, including in Azerbaijan where
"Nakhidjevanis" rule, including in Russia...
In answer to the question whether the special force of Karabakh
was deployed in Yerevan on March 1, one of the participants said in
Karabakh there is no special force, as to the troops, they control
the front line and they cannot do other work.
Some accuse the government, others accuse the opposition but everyone
thinks that in the end people suffered. The guests from Armenia think
the people of Karabakh are not to blame, and no groundless accusations
should be made.
There were also appeals to unite, not to divide into Armenians of
Karabakh and Armenia, not to go deep into who shoot at whom. For
tomorrow, if necessary arises, the people of Gyumri will again defend
Karabakh.
We could not imagine that such a thing is possible in Armenia. That
in Yerevan like in Tbilisi or other countries that TV reports they
could beat and even kill people. We were very much worried, said a
participant from Hadrut.
The meetings were highly useful. The young people not only learned
a lot of new things but also discussed important problems. It turned
out that many of them know little about Karabakh and the problem of
Karabakh, even the Karabakhis cannot explain where the talks have
arrived at. Apparently, it is all due to the passive information
policy.
The project was implemented by the Civil Society Institute Armenia
together with the resource center of Stepanakert. On May 12 the
participants of the project met with the minister of foreign affairs.
