Nancy Pelosi and danger of selective historical narratives

Nancy Pelosi and danger of selective historical narratives

The South Caucasus is living through one of its most remarkable historical moments. Two neighboring countries that have long clashed since gaining independence are gradually moving toward peace. There is no need to say it: this process excites everyone. Will peace truly be achieved? Will the roar of gunfire finally give way to the cheers of sporting events? Will homes no longer receive coffins wrapped in flags? Will young people pick up tools to rebuild war-torn regions instead of weapons to fight on the frontlines?

Zatulin’s speech exposes Kremlin’s anxiety over post-Karabakh order [OPINION]

In the world of politics, much like on a chessboard, the pieces and the logic by which they operate vary widely. This is particularly evident among certain members of Russia’s State Duma who have gained notoriety for political rhetoric driven not by reasoned argument, but by ideological theses. One such figure is Konstantin Zatulin, who at times appears to be attempting to assume the role once played by Vladimir Zhirinovsky. Yet the absurdities he routinely utters end up damaging not only his own credibility, but also the public image of Russia’s political elite as a whole.

JD Vance visits Armenia as separatist narratives re-emerge in court and on streets [COMMENTARY]

The recent Armenian court ruling related to Samvel Shahramanyan, the last representative of the now-defunct Armenian separatist administration in Karabakh, has triggered sharp debate, not so much for its legal substance, but for how it is being politically interpreted and publicly weaponized. While formally a domestic court matter, the decision has been framed by some actors as reopening questions that, in reality, have already been settled on the ground and in international law.
