Photographer Nazik Armenakyan captures glimpses of Artsakh before and after the 2020 war resulting from Azerbaijani aggression. Because Azerbaijan was backed militarily by Turkey, many Armenians described the war as a continuation of the 1915 genocide of Armenians (and Assyrians and Pontic Greeks) committed by the Ottoman Empire. Azerbaijan’s revanchist offensive and post-ceasefire claims to swaths of ethnic Armenian-majority Artsakh thus reveal an enduring campaign of Armenian displacement and dispossession. ■
