The Occupation of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh): The Armenian Perspective

In this episode of The Control Zone, hosts Kellie Kuenzle and Jessica Buxbaum speak with Siranush Sargsyan, an Artsakhtsi Armenian journalist and human rights advocate who was displaced from her homeland in 2023. Currently in Portugal, Sargsyan talks to The Control Zone about living through war, her experience as a refugee in Armenia and abroad, and her hopes to return to Artsakh. This is the third and final episode in our three-part series on the Occupation of  Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), where we break down Armenian and Azerbaijani occupation of the region and how ethnic tensions and fight for the land shaped the two states and the South Caucasus as a whole.  Check out Sargsyan's work in the BBC, Armenian Weekly, and Institute for War and Peace Reporting and follow Sargsyan on Twitter @SiranushSargsy1 Find us on: Instagram: @thecontrolzone Twitter: @ControlZonePod  Have an idea or story tip?
