KARABAKH 25: BUILDING A REPUBLIC | 07.03.13 | 22:00
NAZIK ARMENAKYAN

These days 25 years ago, Armenia was feeling the stirring of a
movement that would eventually change the makeup of the region, and
bring world attention to an unheard of `enclave' - Nagorno-Karabakh.
The Karabakh Movement would be lead by men who later would become
elected and appointed leaders of independent Armenia. The movement
would also lead to the deaths of thousands, the displacement of
thousands more and a standoff that continues these many years later.
The Movement began in February and its anniversary passed as we have
been watching/reporting on crowds protesting the latest presidential
election. They gather in the yard of the Opera House, now known as
`Liberty Square' - so named for the movement that started there 25
years ago and for the spirit that it still conjures today.
In this issue, ArmeniaNow visits today's Karabakh, in a series of
articles that also appear in the winter issue of AGBU magazine.
