This week, we interview Karena Avedissian (@KarenaAV, researcher focused on issues of governance, justice, and security in Eurasia) about the recent escalation in the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict. We discuss the background of the conflict and how the recent developments differ from past tensions over Nagorno-Karabakh. We talk about the Tbilisi-Yerevan highway and how technologies like Google Maps reflect border conflicts. We also consider Russia’s offer to serve as a mediator and Armenian views on its role in the region.
