This week's episode:
The Armenia-Azerbaijan Conflict
with Srdja Trifković
Chronicles foreign affairs editor
Please join us tomorrow, Thursday, October 1, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. CDT for this week’s Backchannel videocast featuring Srdja Trifković, Chronicles foreign affairs editor, on the latest escalation in the unresolved Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between the armed forces of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The clashes began on the morning of September 27, 2020 along the Nagorno-Karabakh Line of Contact. Both sides reported military and civilian casualties. In response to the clashes, Armenia and the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh introduced martial law and total mobilization, while Azerbaijan introduced martial law and a curfew.
Srdja will help us understand the different national, ethnic, and religious lines in the conflict and how various powers and groups in the region may align with the different stakeholders. Does this conflict have the potential to escalate into a broader war, and is the balance of power in the region at risk?
Srdja states in his recent blog interview "The Caucasian Powder Keg":
"Nagorno-Karabakh is an enclave inhabited by Armenians, but Stalin awarded it to the Azeris in the 1920s to buy their political loyalty. Its inhabitants are adamant in their refusal to be absorbed by Azerbaijan. The same dynamic is at play in Transdnistria, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia, where people do not want to be ruled by the successor-states which have a legal claim to those lands based on Communist-era borders."
Srdja Trifković, foreign affairs editor of Chronicles, holds a BA in Political Science from the University of Zagreb, and a Ph.D in modern history from the University of Southampton. He is the author of the books The Sword of the Prophet and Defeating Jihad.
