| Title | When Peace Deals Are Not Peaceful -- Will The Conflict End? Armenia-Azerbaijan Conflict Through The Lens Of Critical Geopolitics |
| Summary | On 27 September 2020, a bloody war broke out in the Caucasus. This was not the first time Armenia and Azerbaijan have been engaged in a war over a small mountainous region called Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh). The beginning of the 2020 Nagorno Karabakh war was as unexpected as it was expected. This conflict is usually analyzed by looking into the larger goals of the bigger players of the region namely Russia and Turkey. The goal of this project is to understand why Armenia and Azerbaijan are willing to sacrifice thousands of manpower and millions of dollars for a small unrecognized state. The conflict will be explored through the lens of Critical Geopolitics. The conclusion that is reached suggests that the history of those countries, imaginaries that the inhabitants of this space have and the cultural narratives that circulate from generation to generation keep this conflict alive. |
