We are pleased to announce that The National Interest, an American bimonthly international affairs magazine published the essay, titled "Armenia Needs to Sue for Peace Now: The Alternative is Even Worse" authored by Damjan Krnjević MiÅ¡ković, a former senior Serbian and UN official, Director of Policy Research and Publications and Professor of Practice at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ University.
In this essay, the author highlights that the Armenian irredentist claim to Nagorno-Karabakh (but not the surrounding territories, which were conquered outright out of a combination of desiring to establish a security buffer and precipitating an ethnic-Armenian colonization effort) is based on false equating self-determination with the avowed rights of secession and occupation: the former falls within the scope of international law whilst the latter does not.
This informative essay provides a clear overview of the heavy fighting between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
