On Sept. 27, 2020, Azerbaijan attacked the Republic of Artsakh, kindling a war that lasted until an agreement was signed on Nov. 9, 2020. The war resulted in thousands of Armenian soldiers and civilians losing their lives and in Artsakh losing a large part of its territory. The war also triggered a political crisis in the Republic of Armenia, with questions arising about the leadership of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and his political party. Eric Hacopian has been a frequent commentator for CivilNet in Armenia, bringing his political expertise to answer some of the unresolved questions arising from the war. In this conversation with moderator Professor Barlow Der Mugrdechian, Hacopian will discuss the situation today, answering questions about the lead-up to the war and also the aftermath of the war. This will be followed by an opportunity for question and answer from the audience.

Organized by the Armenian Studies Program.
