The Regional Center for Democracy and Security cordially invites you to the presentation of our latest report, “Narratives of Division: Ruling Party-Linked Hate Speech Against Karabakh Armenian Refugees”
📅 Date: July 29
🕥 Time: 11:30 AM
📍 Venue: Wagner Hall, Opera Suite Hotel
🌐 Language: English
This event will bring together civil society representatives, journalists, and members of the diplomatic corps for a discussion of the report’s findings. The study explores how state-affiliated figures and pro-government media have contributed to divisive narratives targeting Karabakh Armenian refugees.
Drawing on detailed analysis and interviews, the report reveals how portrayals of refugees as outsiders, deserters, or political threats have been instrumentalized to advance political agendas, deepen societal divides, and undermine democratic resilience in Armenia.
Key topics to be discussed include:
🔹 The construction and spread of stigmatizing narratives
🔹 Impacts on refugee integration, public perception, and civic trust
🔹 The role of media and official discourse in shaping public opinion
🔹 Recommendations for fostering inclusive, democratic, and rights-based dialogue
