Two lifelong friends, one an ethnic Azerbaijani (left) and the other an ethnic Armenian (right), in a coinhabited village in Georgia \u00a9 Onnik James Krikorian 2017<\/em> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/span>You must be glad to be here,\u201d the bartender told my friend, a journalist for a major international media outlet just arrived that evening in Yerevan from Baku via Tbilisi. He raised an eyebrow in response as the bartender slowly poured our drinks.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>You must be glad to be here,\u201d the bartender told my friend, a journalist for a major international media outlet just arrived that evening in Yerevan from Baku via Tbilisi. He raised an eyebrow in response as the bartender slowly poured our drinks.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Because Azerbaijanis are Muslims, they don<\/span>\u2019<\/span>t drink, and there are no bars in Baku,\u201d she replied, somehow absolutely convinced that she was correct.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The exchange was almost comical, but revealed something deeper. Three decades of conflict had turned former neighbours into strangers. In Tbilisi, where ethnic Armenians and Azerbaijanis live side by side, it would be met with ridicule. Only last October I sat at a table where the vodka flowed as a local Armenian sang in Azerbaijani and ethnic Azerbaijanis expressed their appreciation in Armenian.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
