REVOLUTIONALE Talk: Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh
Online talk about the ongoing developments in Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh, the current human rights situation in the region and the impact of recent events on social conditions. The discussion will be in English and will be conducted on Zoom
On September 19, 2023, Azerbaijan initiated a significant military offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh after months of blockade. The entry of Azerbaijani security forces into the region and the rapid fall of Artsakh’s forces resulted in a mass exodus of the Armenian population and the prospective dissolution of the Republic of Artsakh. Join us for a crucial panel discussion as we dissect the ongoing developments in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh post these events. The panel centers the question: “What lies ahead for the territorial integrity of the Republic of Armenia?” We’ll also explore the nuanced roles of international players like Russia, Turkey, and the EU.
Our expert panelists will provide insights into the legalities of recent developments and offer a comprehensive understanding of the current human rights situation in the region. We’ll look at the impact of recent events on social conditions, considering their impact on communities and assessing potential opportunities for reconstruction in the region. This panel will provide an opportunity to gain an understanding of the multi-faceted dimensions of the post-conflict landscape in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh.
