Really excited to say that my first journal article has been published with the Caucasus Analytical Digest!!
I look into the current dynamic between Azerbaijan and Iran, in the context of Russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine and the Karabakh Conflict.

Today marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As we honor the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire across modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Armenia, we must refuse to let history repeat itself.

In 2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, Azerbaijan expelled over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, continuing the genocidal campaign that had begun over 100 years prior.

On this day of remembrance, we reaffirm the right of the Armenian people — and all people — to freedom, safety, and self-determination.

"Family voting" - of which police and polling station staff saw no evidence during the vote - is totally made up horseshit intended to cast suspicion on ethnic minorities for having the temerity to exercise their democratic right.

That's it.

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.

Kidnap the foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

He's not the MP for Clacton.

He's not even a representive for Britain.

He represents Donald Trump, and the interests of both their wealthy backers.

He can't even condemn something he recognises as illegal.

This is who Reform are.

The election campaign has begun in South Ossetia, and it started with the arrest of Tamara Mearakishvili, a South Ossetian citizen of Georgian ethnicity, on espionage charges.

Unfortunately, this is already a well-established tradition in South Ossetia’s political system. Almost every president, seeking re-election, has at some point tried to link opponents to the theme of “Georgian spies.”

The arrest was needed only to later claim at a press conference that Atsamaz Bibilov and David Sanakoev—two key candidates seen as a threat to the incumbent president, Alan Gagloev—had allegedly passed official documents to a “spy” and thus cooperated with Georgia.

The core problem is that this story primarily damages the image of South Ossetia as a state. A republic that itself suffered from Georgian chauvinism and from policies that branded people as enemies based on ethnicity is now, even if selectively rather than en masse, resorting to similar methods.

And it is obvious that as the elections approach, tensions will only continue to rise.

[Seva @SevaUT]

i think zubok has swung the consensus too far toward "blame gorbachev", which absolves the system a bit. If you point to a single man as the cause of an empire’s downfall, you really ought to ask how the fate of an empire came to hinge on a single man.

What I'd heard was that there was going to be a display of unity - some kind of joint statement from Corbyn and Sultana - ahead of launching the membership portal.

This is what's happened instead.

Evacuating people in mortal danger from the North Caucasus often means rescuing their children too. This year, we set a personal record: a woman with six daughters of different ages. Here’s their story 👇

When you compare Zack Polanskis media blitz to Your Party’s endless delays and civil wars, I start to question whether Your Party should even go ahead.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

People are struggling.

Our NHS is collapsing.

Reform are organising.

There’s no time to waste.
