An ethnic Armenian from Azerbaijan videos the Azeri graveyard in his village in Armenia, speaking over the tape in Azerbaijani before sending it off to the families of those that used to live there instead of him. In a region where negative stories and stereotypes of the "enemy" abound, it's an example of a promise kept between two peoples until this day that is seldom told. From Home to Home by Seda Muradyan and Arsen Gasparyan is an exception to that rule, and tell a fascinating story of a mutual pact between two sides still effectively at war over the disputed territory of Nagorno Karabakh, but who continue to respect the past in the hope of contributing to a better future.</blockquote> http://frontlineclub.com/blogs/onnikkrikorian/2010/01/from-home-to-home.html <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/N1ulqpoNZo0&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/N1ulqpoNZo0&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PzEXJPfder4&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PzEXJPfder4&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Incidentally, Zamira’s post and a related email this morning reminded me of this one I wrote for the Frontline Club last year:
