b'Starting on September 27, the war between Azerbaijan and Republic of Artsakh resumed. Also known as Nagorno-Karabakh, Artsakh is a region within Azerbaijan that is predominately Armenian, and since 1994 has been controlled by Armenians. The war ended on November 10 with the Armenians of Artsakh losing most of the territory it had controlled. In this episode, Robert Nicholson of the Philos Project talks with Mark Melton about why this war happened, how Turkey was involved, what the Armenians are losing, what the US government should do next, why the world didn\\u2019t help Artsakh, and what may happen to Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan now. Melton and Nicholson also cover how this conflict fits into region\\u2019s geopolitics and how this all affects the United States. Finally, they discuss what Recep Tayyip Erdo\\u011fan may do next, particularly in Cyprus, and what the Biden administration should do more broadly in the Middle East, especially with the Arab\\u2013Israeli peace movement.'
