NAGORNO KARABAKH/ARTSAKH and the PALIMPSESTS of CONFLICT, VIOLENCE, and MEMORY ~ Saturday, October 31, 2020 ~ LIVE on ZOOM/YouTube
Organized by the Armenian Studies Center at UCLA's Promise Armenian Institute, this Zoom-held international conference on the region's troubled history seeks to raise critical awareness of the complex and variegated history behind the current violence. The gathering will be the first of its kind to frame the conflict around its “deep” history, revealing its Soviet, Ottoman, and more recent geopolitical layers.
