Current Projects

Collaborating with its partners, the organization aims to pinpoint the requirements and apprehensions of various societal groups. These insights are crucial not only for informing official negotiations, but also for recognizing the challenges that impede the creation of a sustained and honorable peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Through this initiative, the organization aims to drive positive change by establishing a consistent civil society oversight of the sector. The goal is to closely monitor the execution of the Human Rights Action Plan 2023-2025 by defense institutions, and to offer evidence-based recommendations that enhance the efficiency of Parliament, state bodies, and relevant local and international stakeholders.

In September, 2020 Peace Dialogue NGO and its German partner, OWEN e.V. have launched a new initiative called CONTACT 2.0: Equipping young people from the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict-affected area with social media skills to reframe prospects for peace. This is a three-year initiative aimed at contributing to conflict transformation efforts in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone.

Warrant officer Kamo Sargsyan, Galina Harutyunyan’s son, who also participated in the Karabakh war, disappeared from the combat field. He has been considered a missing person since 1994.

There is very little constructive public discussion on the legacy of the recent violent past in the context of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Mainstream narratives in the societies foster collective memory that leaves little space for alternative understandings of history and a variety of ‘truths’.

The Karabakh Conflict Archive is a non-governmental initiative to create a collection of materials reflecting the history of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The project is being implemented by civil society organisations interested in collecting a range of sources that help preserve the memory of how the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict evolved and what people lived through.
