NEW MEDIA PLATFORM LAUNCHED TO SHARE STORIES OF PEOPLE AFFECTED BY THE NAGORNO KARABAKH CONFLICT

Nagorno-Karabakh
International Alert, as part of the European Partnership for the
Peaceful Settlement of the Conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh (EPNK), has
launched a joint platform called Unheard Voices that presents reports
by local journalists on the experiences of people living in frontline
communities on either side of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict divide.
The purpose of Unheard Voices is to ensure that the voices of
ordinary people from frontline communities are heard both at home
in their own societies and on the other side of the divide. It also
provides journalists from the region with a platform for professional
development and peer dialogue in order to bring alternatives to
belligerent narratives that dominate mainstream media.
The reports are available in Russian on the Unheard Voices Facebook
page (here) and also on local media websites.
Unheard Voices is a result of collaborative thinking among the
journalists who share an understanding of the importance for the most
vulnerable to have a voice. Here we present human stories from people
living close to 'frontlines', from refugees and IDPs - about the issues
they face, living in conditions of 'no war-no peace'. The stories
allow the reader to discover the real lives behind the enemy images.
Since 2011, within EPNK International Alert has been working with
local mid-career journalists of leading media outlets who cover the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict. This initiative builds on the residential
schools for journalists from the region, the third of which was held
in London in March 2014.
Unheard Voices forms part of the European Partnership for the Peaceful
Settlement of the Conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh (EPNK), an initiative
funded by the European Union and carried out by International Alert.
