Artsakh

For millennia, Armenians have lived, built, created, worshipped, and prospered in Artsakh. Yet in the modern era the region has been subjected to denial, displacement, and destruction — its history distorted, its people silenced, and its identity targeted for erasure.

From antiquity to the present day, this book examines the region's indigenous Armenian presence, religious and cultural monuments, political development, legal status, armed conflicts, humanitarian crises, and the competing narratives that have shaped international perceptions of the region.

More than a photographic record, this work is a study of the consequences of denying a people their right to self-determination — and a testament to a people uprooted and ethnically cleansed from their ancestral homeland, yet steadfast in preserving their identity, safeguarding their heritage, and pursuing truth, justice, and self-determination.
