The Geopolitical Realities of the 2020 Artsakh War

Vicken Cheterian

Historian Vicken Cheterian provides an analysis of the October 2020 war on Artsakh and the instability that plagues the region in its wake. While the ceasefire might have ended the war for the time being, the alliances and ultra-nationalist sentiments that fueled it continue to simmer in the region, making it difficult to find a lasting and peaceful resolution.
