Nagorno-Karabakh: journalists watch life of people
A group of journalists from Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Georgia and Armenia visit Nagorno-Karabakh. The programme of their visit schedules meetings with government officials, NGO representatives, travelling to remote regions of Nagorno-Karabakh.
This journalists' trip was organized under the project "The Caucasus Crossroads: Building Interactive Dialogue between People throughout the South Caucasus". The journalists plan to stay in Nagorno-Karabakh on June 20-24.
The project aims at strengthening of professional and personal ties throughout the South Caucasus, close cooperation of journalists and public sector organizations, understanding the processes in the countries of the region, increasing the flow of information about each other.
According to Margarita Akhvlediani, the director and editor-in-chief of the "Go Group Media", such trips are named a "journalistic mission". "This team came together to tell a widest range of people in the Caucasus what occurs in adjacent regions," Margarita Akhvlediani told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
Anakhit Danielyan, a member of the Stepanakert Press Club, believes that communication with colleagues from different regions of the Caucasus will be of great benefit for the Karabakh journalists. "It's a good experience, a pleasant conversation. However, the most important is that other mass media journalists will come to meet and see Karabakh with their own eyes. They will have an opinion about it and the people who live here. And then the journalists tell everything they saw a wider audience."
