On 28 May, join scholars Vicken Cheterian, Laurence Broers and Armine Ishkanian at the UK book launch of "The 44-Day War: Armenia, Azerbaijan, and the Struggle for Nagorno-Karabakh" (February 2026), which offers a wide-ranging and interdisciplinary examination of the causes, conduct, and consequences of the war.

This volume, edited by Cheterian and bringing together chapters written by multiple experts, interrogates the collapse of the 1994–2020 ceasefire regime, the failures of diplomacy and mediation, Armenia’s strategic miscalculations, and the consolidation of authoritarian power in Azerbaijan. It probes the roles of external actors before turning to the war’s aftermath: stalled peace processes, the dramatic failure of the Russian peacekeeping mission, and the ethnic cleansing of Nagorno-Karabakh. It was published with open access by Bloomsbury Publishing and can be accessed in full online.

The book will be available for sale at the event.

This event is held in partnership with the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
