The resolution of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) can only be achieved through the progressive perspective of listening to the will of the people , and accepting their right to self-determination. In a modern world, an argument for territorial integrity which contradicts this, has no moral basis.  I have listed a few articles I have written which draw comparisons with other situations in the world where self-determination dominated the conclusion….and therefore represent some hope for Artsakh.
