In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict that erupted in the late 1980s and early 1990s as the Soviet Union collapsed. They trace the roots of the dispute, from the region's history under Russian and Soviet rule to the decisions made by Stalin that set the stage for bloodshed. The conversation covers the key events of the war, including the Khojaly massacre and the capture of Shusha, and examines the roles of figures like Ilham Aliyev and Robert Kocharyan. Lucas explains the 1994 Bishkek Protocol ceasefire and the frozen conflict that left Nagorno-Karabakh under ethnic Armenian control while remaining internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan. The episode also touches on the impact of the war on civilians and the shifting alliances with Turkey and Russia. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of one of the Caucasus' most intractable conflicts and its lasting legacy in the 2020 war. #NagornoKarabakh #Azerbaijan #Armenia #SovietUnion #Caucasus #Khojaly #Shusha #BishkekProtocol #FrozenConflict #IlhamAliyev #RobertKocharyan #War #1990s #History #FexingoHistory #CaucasusHistory #EthnicConflict #Stalin Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
