AIWA will host a roundtable panel to examine Azerbaijan's most recent military attack on Armenia's borders in its southeast, which took place on September 12-14, 2022. The panelists will explain how this attempt at a war of conquest will shape the future trajectory of the conflict in Artsakh, Armenia's statehood and sovereignty, as well as the prospects of the extensively geopoliticized and highly complex peace process that has been ongoing since the 44-Day war in 2020. The panel will be moderated by Dr. Anna Ohanyan, professor of Political Science and International Relations at Stonehill College. The speakers include Dr. Nerses Kopalyan, professor of Political Science at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and Sossi Tatikyan, an independent consultant on Foreign Policy and Security Governance who will be joining from Armenia.
We invite you to join us on Monday, September 19th, at 5:30 pm EDT.
