    Episode 29: Anush Ghavalyan on Nagorno-Karabakh
    Jan 23 2021
    In this episode, we look at the story of the heavily contested region of Nagorno Karabakh. Ms. Anush Ghavalyan served as the former advisor to the president of the national assembly of the Republic of Artsakh. With her help, we understand the conflict from the lens of the region that has faced the wrath of Azeri troops for decades and still managed to develop independently. We look at the history behind Azerbaijan's claim to this territory and get a glimpse into the devastation caused by this war. For now, the situation seems stable and we can only hope for peace and security for the citizens of Artsakh. https://artsakhpress.am/eng/ Learn more about your ad choices.

    Episode 27: Armenia's Grievous Recent History
    Dec 9 2020
    In this episode, we take a closer look at how the relationship of Armenia with its neighbours shaped its present political state. We cover the horrifying numbers behind the Armenian genocide and the continuous partitioning of the state. We further examine the development of Armenian nationalism in an era where large populations of Armenians were forced to migrate due to oppressive policies of ruling states. We finally look at the Nagorno-Karabakh question and understand how the conflict has progressed since the independence of the Republic of Armenia. The situation along the Armenia-Azerbaijan border is still volatile with protests in Armenia, and this episode provides the context to help understand why. Learn more about your ad choices.
