A publication by International Alert: ‘Dilemmas in peacebuilding practice in the South Caucasus’, where you can find an article by Gevorg Ter-Gabrielyan: ‘Creating a scandal to make a point – in whose favor’?

An interview to Caucasus Edition by the Executive Director of EPF Gevorg Ter-Gabrielyan on peace and conflict transformation activities of civil society.

In 2008-2009 Eurasia Partnership Foundation (EPF) implemented the “Armenia-Azerbaijan Media Bias Reduction” project with the grant from the Conflict Prevention Pool of the United Kingdom.

The Programme aims to promote civil society efforts towards the normalisation of relations between Turkey and Armenia and towards an open border by enhancing people-to-people contacts, expanding economic and business links, promoting cultural and educational activities and facilitating access to balanced information in both societies.

EPF became a delegate of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum as early as 2009 and started to work incessantly, via its Europe Program, for the successful buildup of the EaP CSF National Platform. The reason for that activism was the understanding that a crucial step in having an impact on policy is having/building the correct coalition. While choosing its strategy, EPF decided to become an active unit in a larger-scale coalition, rather than to multiply the amount of players via developing an independent advocacy group, in a situation where none of the existing NGO coalitions were fully set up and well-functioning.
