Georgi Vanyan, Tekali, Georgia \u00a9 Onnik James Krikorian 2012<\/em><\/p>\n

Recent clashes on the Line of Contact (LOC) separating Armenian and Azerbaijani forces have again raised concerns over the fragility of the 1994 ceasefire agreement. That should have put fighting over the disputed territory of Karabakh on hold, but with a final peace deal still elusive, thousands have been killed in cross-border skirmishes in the eighteen years since. At least three Armenian and five Azerbaijani soldiers died in the latest major skirmishes on the Line of Contact (LoC), which reportedly included incursions into Armenia proper, while both sides blamed the other for the violence.<\/p>\n

Coming as it did as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited the South Caucasus at the beginning of June, some analysts and observers contend that it was a deliberate attempt to remind the international community that the Karabakh conflict most definitely was not \u2018frozen.\u2019 Alarm that a new war might break out also rattled neighboring Georgia as the number of Russian air sorties increased and Moscow announced it would double its military presence in Armenia even if others such as Richard Giragosian said they were not expecting a new premeditated offensive.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Giragosian, who is\u00a0the director of the Yerevan-based Regional Studies Center (RSC), told journalists that Azerbaijan had formulated a new military strategy to reach operational combat readiness by 2014, the 20th\u00a0anniversary of the 1994 ceasefire, and not before. Nevertheless, the International Crisis Group (ICG) remains concerned<\/a> that the possibility of incidents on the LOC spiraling out of control could lead to an \u2018accidental war\u2019 breaking out instead. RFE\/RL puts the number of dead since June as at least 11, while the Economist<\/em> reported last year that over 3,000 have died since the 1994 ceasefire.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn arms race, escalating front-line clashes, vitriolic war rhetoric and a virtual breakdown in peace talks are increasing the chance Armenia and Azerbaijan will go back to war over Nagorno Karabakh,\u201d noted the ICG in its report, Preventing War, published in February last year. \u201cIncreased military capabilities on both sides would make a new armed conflict in the South Caucasus far more deadly than the 1992-1994 one that ended with a shaky truce. Regional Alliances could pull in Russia, Turkey and Iran..\u201d<\/p>\n

The Armenian military also discounted the possibility of a new war breaking out by design, or at least in the immediate future. \u201cAs a result of evaluating the situation, we have arrived at the conclusion that the likelihood of the resumption of hostilities is low today,\u201d Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan told reporters as quoted by RFE\/RL and other sources. \u201cHaving said that,\u201d he added, and as the military vowed to respond to each incident by killing a larger number of Azerbaijani soldiers, \u201cthe armed forces and their leadership exist just for that and are prepared for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The \u2018Tekali Process\u2019<\/h1>\n

Despite the bleak prospects for peace, however, some Armenian and Azerbaijani civil society organizations and activists reacted to the latest border violence differently than in previous years by convening a public hearing held less than two weeks later in Tekali, a small ethnic Azeri village in Georgia situated close to the border with Armenia and Azerbaijan. Planned as a regional peace keeping center in the South Caucasus, the public hearings are the brainchild of actor and director turned peace activist Georgi Vanyan.<\/p>\n

No stranger to controversy, Vanyan is often branded a traitor, either privately by some NGOs or publicly by nationalist forces in Armenia. This was most evident in April this year when plans to screen non-politicized films from Azerbaijan were disrupted in Vanadzor and Gyumri by small groups of nationalists. Those organizing the protests were the same that have also disrupted International Women\u2019s Day events in Yerevan as well as a recent diversity march. The group is also believed to be linked to the recent firebombing of a gay-friendly alternative bar in Yerevan.<\/p>\n

International human rights groups decried the actions against Vanyan, which included physical assault and an attack on the Vanadzor Helsinki Citizens Assembly, as well as the involvement in Gyumri of its notorious mayor, Vartan Ghukasyan. \u201cThe history of conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan means that a film from Azerbaijan is controversial for some, but that doesn\u2019t justify not screening the films, far less any threat or use of violence,\u201d said Giorgi Gogia, senior South Caucasus researcher at Human Rights Watch.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that real art serves the kindness, humanity and reconciliation of people, and an idea came to my mind. Why not repeat the initiative of Vanyan in Azerbaijan?\u201d said Zardusht Alizadeh, an Azerbaijani analyst and political commentator, as well as a speaker at events held by his Armenian counterpart, in response to the reaction. Ironically, a film by Azerbaijani film director Murad Ibragimbekov was scheduled to be shown as part of the Golden Apricot Film Festival in Yerevan on July 9, raising further and more complicated questions about the coordinated campaign against Vanyan.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Peace-building Center<\/h1>\n

In Tekali, Vanyan also operates outside of the narrow boundaries set on most NGOs either by themselves or by official structures, and has to date held four public hearings in the village which have been well attended by Armenians, Azerbaijanis and Georgians. In the first event after the June clashes, and quite unlike other peace building activities which target participants almost solely from the capitals of the three countries, this also included residents of regions in Armenia and Azerbaijan directly affected by the ongoing conflict over Karabakh.<\/p>\n

\u201cArmenians and Azerbaijanis are human beings first of all and have a basic desire for peace. What we need to do is to initiate some kind of open discussion. Instead of organizing seminars, we talk to people in the markets, or in cultural centers,\u201d Vanyan told me in an interview<\/a> in 2009. \u201cCommunication is not betrayal. It is a natural human need,\u201d he was quoted as saying by one newspaper the same year in response to those questioning and obstructing his activities in Armenia. International organizations also stress the urgent need for more people-to-people contacts.<\/p>\n

In Tekali, dozens of people, including Armenians from Noyemberyan, a regional center close to the location of the recent clashes, as well as Azerbaijanis from Gazakh and Ganja participated in the discussion led by three speakers each from both countries. The event was organized by the recently founded Tekali Association of Georgia, Azerbaijan\u2019s Center of Regional Cooperation and Community Development, and Vanyan\u2019s Caucasus Center for Peacekeeping Initiatives of Armenia. The question posed was should civil society intervene on the matter of cross-border clashes?<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s try to clarify what\u2019s going on,\u201d said Luiza Poghosyan who considered the front line skirmishes to be tantamount to an act of \u2018terrorism\u2019 against the populations of both countries. \u201cPersonally, I see no logical sense in the fire exchanges on the front. Human losses do not bring any tactical success to any of the parties.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHas civil society done anything effective yet?\u201d asked Azerbaijan Academy of Science Department head Ali Abbasov rhetorically. \u201cThe answer is no. They are distanced from the negotiations, but civil society can and must say its piece,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been living [with] the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict for 24 years already. That conflict has inflicted many wounds on our peoples and erected many barriers and psychological obstacles between them. Who benefits from ceasefire violations?\u201d added Mahram Toya\u015fo\u011flu from a regional Azerbaijani NGO in Gazakh.<\/p>\n

Speaking following the public discussion, Vanyan was pleased with the results of the meeting. \u201cThe speakers touched on the problem of a mechanism through which each could participate in the prevention of incidents on the Line of Contact,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was also noted that the Tekali format is suitable to make the first steps such as establishing contact on both sides of the conflict as well as to consider further actions. It was decided that a Monitoring and Rapid Reaction Group on the Line of Contact should be established.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the opinion of the participants,\u201d wrote Azerbaijani journalist and analyst Ilgar Velizade in a blog post days later, \u201csociety has, to this day, taken no steps to end hostilities, and remains far removed from what goes on at the border. [\u2026] Armenian and Azerbaijani civil society organizations now need to cooperate with one another in order to resolve the situation. [\u2026] the meeting in Tekali demonstrated once more the Armenian and Azerbaijani public desire for peace to be established in the conflict zone as quickly as possible [\u2026]. As we say, hope never dies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether that intent is as widespread, as Velizade says or as much as Vanyan hopes, remains to be seen, but the first meeting to establish the Monitoring and Rapid Reaction Group was held in Tekali on July 21. Present were representatives from the NGOs and the International Crisis Group. So too were Bernard O\u2019Sullivan and Stephen Young from the Brussels-based\u00a0Nonviolent Peaceforce, an organization already working in Georgia, Mindanao\/Philippines, South Sudan, and elsewhere. O\u2019Sullivan spoke to me following the public discussion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Tekali Process first of all attracts our interest because clearly people have a need for civil society to act amongst and protect themselves,\u201d he said. \u201cHowever, we work on the principle of acceptance. We only go to conflict zones where we\u2019re accepted and obviously this includes civil society, but critically it also means the political leadership, i.e. the governments, of all sides. What will come out of the Tekali Process? I see there is very good will here. The Tekali group said it\u2019s not in their interest to get involved in military or political outcomes, but it is for civilians across ethnic groups to protect themselves in a non-violent way. That\u2019s why we\u2019re very interested.”<\/i><\/i><\/i><\/i><\/p>\n
