Personal, yes, but the name could have been “Dialogue – Understanding – Reconciliation;” it is a forum for exchange of ideas and experiences related to overcoming adversary relations among peoples and nations bred by conflict.
My book, «Through the Wall of Fire: Armenia – Iraq – Palestine: From Wrath to Reconciliation», focuses on three cardinal conflicts and explores ways of transforming historical enmity into peaceful, cooperative relationships. In the News, you can follow the Armenian-Turkish rapprochement process, moves towards a just peace in Palestine, and the perspective for an independent and sovereign Iraq to consolidate national unity. This rubric features cultural initiatives, like Arab/Israeli or Turkish/Armenian youth orchestras or filmmakers, because I believe great art has a fundamental role to play. The Links are to websites of individuals, publications, and associations engaged in such dialogue; some through historical research, or sharing news updates, or organizing activities to educate the broader public. My own views and activities are available in the Publications and Travel rubrics. The Contact function provides you the means to contribute your views.
