The 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War exposed deep structural weaknesses in Armenia’s military and political decision-making. Political scientist Dr. Vicken Cheterian, lecturer in political science at the University of Geneva and director of the Diasporan Perspectives think tank at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, joined the podcast to discuss these failures and why Armenia was not prepared for the conflict. Cheterian is the editor of the new book “The 44-Day War”, a comprehensive analysis of the conflict, and co-author of “44 Defeat”, which reconstructs how Armenia’s military defeat occurred.
