Civil society institutions can play an important peacekeeping role in
the process of Karabakh settlement. However, the projects implemented
by NGOs in this area remain out of public attention, this idea was
expressed at the roundtable organized on Wednesday by the Company
for Women's Rights named after Dilara Aliyeva, under the frameworks
of the project funded by the British Embassy, Turan reports.
The project analyzes the peacekeeping projects on the
Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. The magazine-study "Transitions of
the way leading to peace" providing an overview of recent peace
initiatives was submitted to the participants.
The expert of the project, Head of Humanities Research Society
Avaz Hasanov said that neither the authorities nor society, nor the
opposition have shown interest in peacemaking. "Everybody wants to
return Karabakh, and support peaceful solution, but nobody wants to
discuss how to achieve this," said Hasanov.
The head of NGO "Democratic monitor" Fuad Hasanov said that the
potential for peacemaking in both societies is suppressed by the
restrictions of democratic freedoms.
Head of Research Centre "Atlas" Elkhan Shahinoglu noted that the
dialogue between civil societies of the conflicting parties is carried
out through international projects, and the most active in this are
the International Alert and Links. In his view, the growing interest
to the EU could create additional incentives for achieving peace in
the region.
For his part, the British Ambassador to Baku, Peter Bateman , referring
to the experience of his country in resolving the conflict in Northern
Ireland, noted the important role of civil society. He supported
the peace efforts of NGOs in the process of Karabakh settlement,
and noted the need for wide dissemination of positive experience in
the media and in the Internet. The British Embassy, for its part,
is ready to further support the steps in this direction.
The magazine "Transitions of the way leading to peace" includes
review materials on joint projects of Azerbaijani and Armenian NGOs
and journalists, in particular, the creation of a joint blog "Voices
of Women", "Neutral Zone" (bloggers), films "The Passenger" and "
Neither war, nor peace ", a video-dialogues, South Caucasus TV program
"Children's Crossing "(implemented by "Internews "), and others.
