dc.description.abstractBy means of framing analysis, this study came to address the role of public participation for conflict resolution through the media in undemocratic and transitional countries. By way of illustration, the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region is used. The study first investigated how the conflict was discussed in the letters submitted to two Russian-language newspapers, the Azerbaijani Bakinskiy rabochiy and the Armenian Kommunist/Golos Armenii, in the period from 1988 to 2016, and then confronted these depictions with the decisions taken by the authorities around the same periods. The aim was to identify whether or not the government decisions were in line with the readership opinions on a solution to the conflict as expressed in the letters. The findings of this study have two important implications for the relationship between the media and conflict resolution. One implication is that media and conflict study scholars need to readdress the relationship between governments, citizens and the media in war times in order to identify how responsibility for content is to be shared among them. A second implication is that the public needs a better understanding of news effects if they want to contribute to the resolution of conflict.en_US
