Tag: Nagorno Karabakh

The Nagorno Karabakh conflict — also known as the Artsakh conflict — has been the central subject of Groong’s coverage since the podcast launched. With more than 450 episodes addressing the dispute in whole or in part, this archive represents one of the most comprehensive English-language audio records of the conflict’s recent history.

Groong covered the 44-Day War of 2020, in which Azerbaijan retook large portions of Nagorno Karabakh, the subsequent nine-month blockade of the Lachin corridor in 2022–2023, and the September 2023 Azerbaijani offensive that ended Armenian governance of the region and caused the displacement of more than 100,000 ethnic Armenians.

Coverage includes analysis of diplomatic efforts at the OSCE Minsk Group and beyond, the situation of Armenian prisoners of war held by Azerbaijan, the right of return for displaced Armenians, and ongoing negotiations between Yerevan and Baku over a peace agreement.
