Organization of visits of the Armenian and Azeri intelligentsia to Armenia, Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh, which was initiated by the Armenian and Azeri Ambassadors in the Russian Federation, their meeting in the highest levels had an impact of a light “appearing” in the dark. It strengthened the hope that peace-building activity still has a big unused potential in its depth. The most important thing was that the visit of intelligentsia took place not through a third country but crossing the Armenian-Azeri border.

We believe that with such initiatives and steps the responsibility of the political heads becomes bigger in the peaceful way of conflict settlement.
