Public Peacemaking Forum on Nagorno Karabakh conflict postponed

International Alert, the forum’s organizer, said the meeting will be held in autumn.

The forum decided to avoid the politicization of the public dialogue on the backdrop of the intensification of the negotiations over the conflict solution. The International Alert said the negotiations were intensified recently.

“Many in the region welcome development of the process, but intensification creates fears and concerns in the society. The public peacemaking forum is not a political process, but the political situation has an impact on the public peace and people’s diplomacy as well. We don’t intend to allow the politicization of the dialogue. Our Public Peacemaking Forum could protect its non-political essence so far”, said the International Alert in a statement and added that the postponement of the forum until the autumn would allow elaboration of more exact format and agenda.
