Prior Years — NAASR / Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation Lecture Series on Contemporary Armenian Issues

The National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR)
Presents the Fifth Annual Prof. Charles B. Garabedian Lecture

This panel is based on the latest special issue of Genocide Studies International, “Nagorno-Karabakh and the Lachin Corridor Crisis,” and features contributors to that issue.

The panelists will discuss their work experience in Armenia and reflect on their visit to the U.S.

This presentation will introduce the practice of heritage forensics in relation to the ongoing research program of Caucasus Heritage Watch (CHW). Founded in 2020 in the wake of the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War, CHW uses the techniques of cultural aerospace to document, detect, and deter attacks on the fragile remains of the human past. This talk is organized around three forensic dossiers on medieval and early modern heritage caught in the crosshairs of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Join us on  for an online panel discussion, "The Fall of Artsakh: Refugee Crisis, Existential Threat, and Uncertain Future," with a distinguished panel including Vicken Cheterian, Bedross Der Matossian, Nerses Kopalyan, Anna Ohanyan, and David L. Phillips, moderated by Marc A. Mamigonian.
