Nagorno-Karabakh: Humanitarian, Geographic, and Geopolitical Considerations for the Broader Region
One month ago, a lightning military offensive by Azerbaijani forces led to Baku鈥檚 seizure of Nagorno-Karabakh. The surprise operation upended the regional balance of power and displaced over 100,000 of the region鈥檚 ethnic Armenian residents. The full impact of Nagorno-Karabakh's dissolution for local populations, other 鈥渇rozen conflicts,鈥 and the fate of Russian influence in the Caucasus and Central Asia remains to be seen. Edward C. Holland, Akram Umarov, and Jennifer Wistrand discussed the aftermath of last month鈥檚 events from humanitarian, geographic, and geopolitical perspectives.
This event is part of the Kennan Institute鈥檚 spotlight on the Caucasus & Central Asia.
