/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Yerevan has today hosted a discussion devoted to
the preparation of regular Armenian-Azerbaijani peace forum. "Such
events aim at eliminating enemy image between Armenia and Azerbaijan,"
International Alert European Projects Director Dessislava Roussanova
said, noting that the principal goal of the conference was to build a
"bridge of trust" between two countries.

"It’s very important for us what international community
representatives think about it and what ways they propose for
overcoming the situation," International Alert’s Director said.

Such conferences, according to her, have already been held in Baku
and are scheduled to take place in Karabakh in two days. They are
aimed at conducting preparatory work for the joint forum due on June
21-24 in Moscow.

Forums envisage consultations with societies of all conflicting
parties, with the purpose of revealing population and intellectuals’
opinion on issues that may be discussed.
