Nearly three months after Azerbaijan's seizure of Nagorno-Karabakh, serious concerns remain over the plight of tens of thousands of ethnic Armenians in the region. On this episode of&nbsp;The Eastern Front, Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia welcome Dr. Shushanik Minasyan-Ostermann, postdoctoral research associate at the University of Bonn, to discuss the refugee crisis. Can Armenia trust Western nations to provide for its security? And if not, is Russia a viable alternative? How are Turkey and Iran's interests abetted by this conflict?Show notes: Sign up for&nbsp;The Eastern Front‘s bi-weekly newsletter&nbsp;<a href="https://www.aei.org/sign-up-for-updates-from-the-eastern-front-podcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here&nbsp;</a>and follow us on X&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/EasternFrontPod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.

Who Can Guarantee Armenia’s Security? Pt. II (with Amb. Richard Kauzlarich)

Ensuring the balance of power in Europe has, since the inception of our republic, been a core security interest for the US. Today, and for the entire post-Cold War period, the challenges to the European peace have emerged along the line running roughly from the Baltic to the Black Sea. This is what we call the Eastern Front. Our goal in this podcast is to better inform the American people about what’s going on there. 
Join us, Iulia Joja and Dalibor Rohac every week on in our discussions on what’s next for “The Eastern Front.”
