Letter to the Editor | Mapping the sequence of the warfare against Armenians in the Middle East

This article maps a gradual sequence of psychological warfare in Beirut and Jerusalem against the Armenians, preceding the Second Artsakh War.

The Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) conflict is an ethnic, religious and territorial conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, which was inhabited predominantly by ethnic Armenians until the Azerbaijani offensive in 2023, and seven surrounding districts, which were inhabited mostly by Azerbaijanis until their expulsion during the First Artsakh War from 1988-1994. Starting in the 1990s, the region was controlled by the breakaway Republic of Artsakh. During the Second Artsakh War in 2020 and the Azerbaijani offensive in 2023, Azerbaijan reasserted control over the region and the seven surrounding districts.
