Caucasus: Online tools in Peace Building
Written byOnnik Krikorian
Writing on his Peace and Collaborative Development Network Blog, Global Voices’ Caucasus Editor recounts his experience of using online social networks in cross-border communication and peace building initiatives between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Locked into a still unresolved conflict over the disputed territory of Nagorno Karabakh, another post, however, looks at some concerns raised by fellow GV-ers Ethan Zuckerman and Jillian C.York while assessing whether new open source decentralized social networks such as Diaspora offer a solution. The latest post also examines the use of simple, free tools such as Skype in bringing the two sides together.

Peace to all of you people!
Thanks, Lucy. There’s a link to a report on the PeaceJam in this post, and the British Ambassador also points readers in the direction of another post I made outside of Global Voices on the same project.
