Overview

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the outbreak of fighting over Karabakh which continues to be an unresolved conflict involving Armenia and Azerbaijan. This event will examine the popular narratives around the conflict and preconceptions on all sides. Is there potential to change entrenched attitudes that have existed for 30 years? What is the role of civil society in encouraging reconciliation?

The event is organized in partnership with Conciliation Resources.

Attendance at this event is by invitation only.
