This round-table will discuss the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict - one of the most complex and protracted
ethno-territorial conflicts in the post-Soviet space. It will focus on the role
of historical narrative in the political discourse of all parties involved in
the conflict. We will gather together scholars and policy-makers with in-depth empirical,
scholarly and political experience of this turbulent region. The round-table is
organised by The University of Birmingham Research Group on the Caucasus in
collaboration with the Centre for Russian, Eurasian and European Studies and
the Department of Political Science and International Studies of the College of
Social Sciences at the University of Birmingham.
