This illustrated lecture maps the trajectory and humanitarian toll of the 2020 war in Nagorno Karabakh, and explores its historical and geopolitical contexts. Outlining the antecedents of the conflict from WWI to the collapse of the Soviet Union, the lecture identifies pogroms, propaganda campaigns, and policy decisions that cast a shadow across generations in the South Caucasus. Unpacking domestic developments within post-Soviet Armenia and Azerbaijan and their impact on the negotiations between the two countries, the lecture tracks the process that led to unsettling a “frozen conflict,” and the role played by regional actors, chief among them Turkey, in detonating it in the middle of a raging pandemic.

He is the author of The Resistance Network: The Armenian Genocide and Humanitarianism in Ottoman Syria, 1915-1918.
