The Ever-Changing Borders of Armenia in Ancient and Modern Times: The Cartographic Record with Rouben Galichian
National Association for Armenian Studies and Research
Exploring maps of Armenia’s changing borders over time reveals significant aspects of Armenian history, culture, and geography from ancient times to the present and is critical to the current territorial debate. The 44-day war waged by Azerbaijan and Turkey against Armenia and Artsakh in the fall of 2020 and the ongoing clashes have highlighted the importance of the accurate determination of the borders of the Republics of Armenia and
Artsakh and how essential this is to their full exercise of sovereignty.
