In December 2005, during the final phase of the systematic erasure of Armenian material memories in Nakhichevan, Azerbaijan’s military destroyed Djulfa, the world’s largest cemetery of khachkar stelae. Drawing on two decades of research, Dr. Maghakyan unveils a new theoretical framework for explaining the negation of disquieting material heritage in ethnoterritorial conflicts, examining the multilayered factors behind such security policies and identifying potential pathways for preempting similar outcomes in Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh.
