If I have learned anything about the reality of conflict, it is that when you run out of space (room) conflict changes from an essential engine of life into a pathological destroyer of life. When this pathology appears I find but one approach to be truly effective: Open more space - anywhere, anyhow, with any one, about whatever. Seeking to control or minimize the conflict will have a short term (positive) impact. Things "seem" more peaceful. But I think that is illusory - the pathology has simply gone under ground. You do not have to be expert to open Space - human will do. And you don't have to use Open Space Technology - but it is definitely an option.

And Raffi, you can explain this to your friend so that they can organize an OST meeting where people can try to solve their problems before conflicts get bigger and bigger.
