What the conflict in Nagorno Karabakh could mean for Europe

The military conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh region that broke out on Tuesday ended with a ceasefire on Wednesday. The Armenian minority fears for its future. Ralph Janik, an expert in international law, explains why the conflict also has to do with the EU.

In addition to being one of the richest women in the world, she is also one of the most famous public defenders of the Armenian diaspora: Kim Kardashian. In a tweet and an essay in Rolling Stone, she refers to the conflict that recently erupted again in the Nagorno-Karabakh region: “This is my request to President Joe Biden to prevent another genocide against the Armenians. It is time for America to intervene in the world and protect the Armenians of Azerbaijan.”

On Tuesday, Azerbaijan launched a military operation in the country and the Armenian minority living there fears for their territory and their future. In this episode, international law expert Ralph Janik explains what prominent representatives of the Armenian diaspora could do for the minority in Nagorno-Karabakh and why the conflict also has to do with the EU.
