Reconciling with the Other Side: Peace Talks

PeaceTalks: 27 September 2007

Reconciling with the Other Side:
Perspectives from the South Caucasus

What happens when the ideals you believe in are unpopular with your neighbours? How do you deal with pervasive stereotypes and fear? And how can you learn to cooperate when communities are divided by fear, hostility and closed borders?

International Alert and St Ethelburga's have brought together a unique panel from different sides of the Nagorny Karabakh conflict between Armenians and Azerbaijanis, one of the world's most intractable and forgotten conflicts, to explore these questions. In this rare opportunity, four Armenian and Azerbaijani community leaders will share the challenges and successes of trying to bring together communities long divided by war.

This chance to explore examples of reconciliation in practice will not want to be missed.
