Amid Soviet Union’s dissolution in 1991, just as Armenia and Azerbaijan achieved statehood, Nagorno-Karabakh, a strategic sliver of mountainous land in the South Caucasus, officially declared independence. War erupted between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the region, resulting in roughly thirty thousand casualties and creating hundreds of thousands of refugees. While the conflict over of Nagorno-Karabakh concluded with Azerbaijan reclaiming all of the territory earlier this year, resentments simmer on both sides, creating fertile ground for renewed violence.

Join us for a virtual discussion on the topic with regional experts Dr. Artyom Tonoyan (Hamline University) and Dr. Arman Grigoryan (Lehigh University). Dr. Eren Taşar (CSEEES Interim Director) will moderate the conversation. Register here.
