Why It Matters: Armenia defiant against Turkey, Azerbaijan despite shrinking borders
By Peter Aitken | Fox News November 15, 2021
... "I think we’re back to square one in the sense that what started as a conflict between self-determination of the Karabakh Armenians and the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan…30 years later, this conflict has not been resolved, even despite the war, even despite Azerbaijan saying there is no longer Karabakh conflict," Hratch Tchilingirian, a scholar and activist, told Fox News...

Imagine Boris Johnson ordering the bombing of Edinburgh because the Scots voted for independence in a referendum, or the British Government declaring war against Northern Ireland because it wished to join the Republic of Ireland. Unlike the political dialogue and the search for legal remedies that dissatisfied nations of the United Kingdom utilise to resolve their conflicts, the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh, who have been natives of the territory for centuries, have been the target of years of demonisation in Azerbaijan for voting for independence in 1991 as the Soviet Union was collapsing.

"Religion in a Non-Religious War: The Conflict over Nagorno Karabakh"

Strategic Note on Religion & Diplomacy (Georgetown University), May 2021, pp. 8-10.
The instrumentalization of religion—especially Islam by Azerbaijan in foreign relations—in the nonreligious Nagorno Karabakh conflict could further deepen the differences among the parties in the conflict and in the region, and make a final resolution and reconciliation even more difficult.

Christianity in Karabakh: Azerbaijani Efforts At Rewriting History Are Not New
Dr. Hratch Tchilingirian, Oxford
EVN Report / MassisPost / Aravot (22 November 2020)—Long before the start of the armed conflict in Karabakh, the “authentication” of the history of the region had become the scholarly battleground of historians, political scientists, archaeologists, researchers and bureaucrats. The consequences of Soviet scholarship—particularly in the process of constructing histories—have been disastrous and continue to have a negative impact on how conflicting parties view “the other.” It should be noted that, even today,

As one of the nations in this world, whose millennia-long biography is the envy of the world, we should not allow some anomalous, self-interested forces, circles or personalities trample the national wisdom we have gained through myriads of imposed wars, destruction and displacement.

Why the future of the Armenian World’s most coveted address hangs in the balance
By Daniel Halton
Along the narrow stone-covered streets, winding alleyways and ancient chapels inside Jerusalem’s walled city, one of the oldest Christian communities in the world sets out to observe a sacred rite, just as it has for the past 1,700 years.... “The Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem is one of the richest and probably most significant living Armenian institutions in the world. The Patriarchate is the depository and custodian of an enormous religious and cultural heritage,” observed Hratch Tchilingirian, Professor of Armenian Studies at Oxford University.
