Event: The Nagorny Karabakh peace process: Is there a way out of the impasse?

Saferworld will be part of a panel discussion on 21 November 2012 in a public debate on the Nagorny Karabakh peace process. The event features Saferworld's Caucasus Programme Manager, Tabib Huseynov and Tatul Hakobyan, of the Yerevan-based think tank Civilitas.

Beginning in 1988 as an obscure dispute in a remote Soviet province, the Nagorny Karabakh conflict has endured for nearly 25 years. The Armenian-Azerbaijani peace process established in 1994 has fluctuated between moments of optimism and despair. While high hopes accompanied the process last year, 2012 has reaped a harvest of renewed pessimism regarding the prospects for peace. As the contours of a new cold war take shape, now more than ever is the time to ask, is there a way out of the Karabakh impasse?

The discussion will be chaired by Laurence Broers, Caucasus Projects Manager at Conciliation Reources and Research Associate at the Centre for Contemporary Central Asia and the Caucasus.

This special event is organised by Conciliation Resources in collaboration with Centres & Programmes Office, at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London.
