Nagorno-Karabakh on the Brink of War

The  latest eruption of fighting all across the disputed territory of  Nagorno-Karabakh, internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan but  mostly populated by ethnic Armenians, risks challenging a long-held  status quo in the Southern Caucasus. Currently one of the  longest-lasting disputes in Europe, the renewed border clashes and the  high death toll will put a fragile ceasefire (in place since 1994) in  question. With major regional interests at stake (Russia, Turkey, Iran)  and after years of unfruitful attempts at reconciliation, how can  belligerents Azerbaijan and Armenia return from the brink of an all-out  war? We speak with Polish journalist Anna Zamejc about the historical  origins and present-day context of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. We  also discuss regional perceptions of recent events and possible  scenarios with Richard Giragosian of the Yerevan-based Regional Studies  Center as well as Zaur Gasimov, a researcher at the East European and  Russian History the University of Bonn.
