As part of its on-going efforts to promote the peaceful resolution
of the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, the British non-governmental
organisation LINKS has over the summer conducted interviews with twenty
key personalities from Nagorno-Karabakh. Ten interviews were conducted
with politicians and civil society activists in Nagorno-Karabakh
itself. A further series of ten interviews were conducted in Baku
with key personalities from the community of those displaced by
the conflict.
The interviews give a vivid, even if sombre picture, of the attitude
of Armenians and Azerbaijanis from Karabakh whose lives have been
deeply affected by the conflict and whose destiny will be at the
heart of any future conflict settlement.
The interviewing team was composed of Josh Bird, Hovhannes Nikoghosyan
and Fuad Hasanov.
The interviews will be published one by one over the next weeks
starting from this week.
A spokesperson for LINKS said "We want to give a voice to the
people that are directly affected by the conflict. Some of their
statements are tough, and we do not always like what they say. But
it is important that the world community listens to these voices
if it wants to understand the conflict. It is hoped the release of
these interviews will contribute to a genuine debate on the future
of Karabakh and on the resolution of the conflict".
The interviews will be available first on the website
www.commonspace.eu. This website was established in June by LINKS,
in partnership with ArmInfo News Agency of Armenia and 1news.az
of Azerbaijan. The website is a forum for all those interested in
Armenian-Azerbaijani relations and the future of the Caucasus region.
