Not studied properly, Karabakh is one of most complicated post-conflict areas
Lecturers and students of French universities Оxford brookes and Paris 12 arrived in Nagorno Karabakh to study the problems of post-conflict states.
Head of the group Brigitte Piquard, who pays her third visit Karabakh, said that their research is not only theoretical and the Karabakhi authorities may use it if they want. "Not studied properly, Karabakh is one of the most complicated post-conflict areas," Ms Piquard said.
The purpose of the visit is to establish partner relations and open an office for studying possibilities of peaceful building and reconstruction. The research is conducted in Shushi, the town that was most of all damaged in Karabakh war. "Our surveys fixed some progress against the data we had three years ago. People do welcome these achievements, specifically reconstruction of historical facilities," Ms Piquard said.
Residents of Shushi link development of the town with tourism, according to the students. However, having studied the experience of a number of post-conflict states, the young scientists warned that tourism can transform into global aggression and offered to develop the social sector first of all, the Caucasian Knot reports.
