Azeri, Armenian NGOs launch joint website to promote dialogue
Non-governmental organizations in Azerbaijan and Armenia have created
a joint website to promote dialogue between the two countries,
Baku-based private Turan news agency reported on 29 December.
The website Publicdialogues.info was created by the Institute for
Peace and Democracy in Azerbaijan and Region Research Centre in
Armenia, Turan said, adding that the website was the "first of its
kind".
The purpose of the website is to allow Armenians and Azerbaijanis to
receive first-hand information from the two countries, Turan said. The
news agency quoted Leyla Yunus, director of the Institute for Peace
and Democracy, as saying that the website will serve as a platform for
online discussions and press conferences for journalists, experts,
politicians, activists and representatives of civil society from the
two countries.
Since its creation, Publicdialogues.info has carried interviews on a
wide variety of topics, including the Karabakh conflict, human rights
issues, legislation, trade unions, cinematography and tourism. The
website will be presented in the Azerbaijani and Armenian capitals in
January, Turan news agency said, adding that it also has a page on
Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/PublicDialogues).
The project is being supported by the British Foreign Office, the news
agency reported.
