    Identity Gerrymandering: How the Armenian State Constructs and Controls “Its” Diaspora by Kristin Talinn Rebecca Cavoukian A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Kristin Cavoukian 2016 Identity Gerrymandering: How the Armenian State Constructs and Controls “Its” Diaspora Kristin Talinn Rebecca Cavoukian Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This dissertation examines the Republic of Armenia (RA) and its elites’ attempts to reframe state-diaspora relations in ways that served state interests. After 17 years of relatively rocky relations, in 2008, a new Ministry of Diaspora was created that offered little in the way of policy output. Instead, it engaged in “identity gerrymandering,” broadening the category of diaspora from its accepted reference to post-1915 genocide refugees and their descendants, to include Armenians living throughout the post-Soviet region who had never identified as such. This diluted the pool of critical, oppositional diasporans with culturally closer and more compliant emigrants. The new ministry also favoured geographically based, hierarchical diaspora organizations, and “quiet” strategies of dissent. Since these were ultimately attempts to define membership in the nation, and informal, affective ties to the state, the Ministry of Diaspora acted as a “discursive power ministry,” with boundary-defining and maintenance functions reminiscent of the physical border policing functions of traditional power ministries. These efforts were directed at three different “diasporas:” the Armenians of Russia, whom RA elites wished to mold into the new “model” diaspora, the Armenians of Georgia, whose indigeneity claims they sought to discourage, and the “established” western diaspora, whose contentious public ii critique they sought to disarm.

    CONTINUING IMPUNITY Azerbaijani-Turkish offensives against Armenians in Nagorno Karabakh Baroness Cox 24 April 2021 An addendum to ‘Ethnic Cleansing in Progress: War in Nagorno Karabakh’ (Cox and Eibner, 1993) CONTENTS Acknowledgements page 1 Introduction page 1 Background page 3 The 44-Day War page 3 Conclusion page 27 Appendix: ‘The Spirit of Armenia’ page 29 1. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to record my profound sympathy for all who suffered – and continue to suffer – as a result of the recent war and my deep gratitude to all whom I met for sharing their experiences and concerns. These include, during my previous visit in November 2020: the Presidents of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh; the Human Rights Ombudsmen for Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh; members of the National Assembly of Armenia; Zori Balayan and his family, including his son Hayk who had recently returned from the frontline with his injured son; Father Hovhannes and all whom I met at Dadivank; and the refugees in Armenia. I pay special tribute to Vardan Tadevosyan, along with his inspirational staff at Stepanakert’s Rehabilitation Centre, who continue to co-ordinate the treatment of some of the most vulnerable members of their community from Yerevan and Stepanakert. Their actions stand as a beacon of hope in the midst of indescribable suffering. I also wish to express my profound gratitude to Artemis Gregorian for her phenomenal support for the work of my small NGO Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust, together with arrangements for many visits. She is rightly recognised as a Heroine of Artsakh as she stayed there throughout all the years of the previous war and has remained since then making an essential contribution to the community.

Chapter Three The Nagorno Karabakh Conflict The Beginning of the Soviet End Ali Askerov INTRODUCTION The main parties to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict are Armenia and Azer- baijan, independent since 1991, following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Once an internal problem of the Soviet Union, the Nagorno Karabakh (also known as Upper Karabakh and/or Mountainous Karabakh) crisis started three years before Armenia and Azerbaijan gained independence, and remains un- resolved after more than thirty years. The war has left over 30,000 casualties and about a million refugees and internally displaced people. By the end of 1993, Armenian armed forces managed to occupy seven Azerbaijani districts, in addition to the Nagorno Karabakh region, all of which constitute about 16 percent of Azerbaijani territory. A cease-fire agreement brokered by Russia has remained in place since 1994. The Nagorno Karabakh conflict is often considered as one of the frozen post-Soviet conflicts since currently no active combat is taking place.

  • From Ter-Petrossian to Kocharian: Explaining Continuity in Armenian Foreign Policy, 1991–2003
    From Ter-Petrossian to Kocharian: Explaining Continuity in Armenian Foreign Policy, 1991–2003 TALINE PAPAZIAN Abstract: This article is a study of Armenian foreign policy since independence, as a major component and requirement of national sovereignty. I argue that despite the replacement of the first administration by its opponents in 1998, the most rel- evant characteristic of foreign policy is continuity rather than change. In terms of political science approach, foreign policy is studied both in terms of internation- al relations of the young republic and of the main actors responsible for it. The combination of these two approaches allows us to understand both the raisons d’Edat and the internal actors that explain continuity, although the brevity and novelty of the present study requires more extensive research. While the descrip- tion of Armenian foreign policy has often been reviewed, the decision-making process and political elites related to it are practically uncharted territory. Key words: actors, continuity/change, decision making, Diaspora, foreign poli- cy, ideology, institutions, internal politics, leadership, military, Nagorno- Karabakh conflict/issue, political elites, security lthough foreign policy seems somewhat beyond the “democratization” and A “liberalization” (leitmotiv) present in the addresses made to the Newly Inde- pendent States (NIS), it is actually a relevant observation in studying the evolu- tion of the republics. Foreign policy is situated at the crossroads of development, regional stability, and globalization. Since gaining independence, the Republic of Armenia has been trying hard to impose its sovereignty on the definition of foreign policy. This brief research is based on two political science approaches, usually dis- joined.
