An Objective Eye on a Forgotten Land
The conflict over the Armenian territory of Artsakh, also known as Garapakh (hence the title of the book), has been intractable since the fall of the Soviet Union.Yet few today remember how the conflict originated, how Joseph Stalin's purges and ethnic engineering shaped the region, and how the Mountain Turks (called "Azeris" since WWI), the Armenians, and indeed most of the Soviet Union's subjects were used in the often arbitrary Stalinist decisions.In this mostly objective work, the origins of the conflict are traced in such a way as to explain why feelings in that region of the world are so strong, why the Mountain Turks want Artsakh from the Armenians, and the relation between the Genocide of the innocent Armenians in 1915 by murderous Turkey itself still has ramifications in the present.

Unbiased? No -- Biased? Nope.
The problem with ethnic issues is that often the only people that care about them are people of that ethnicity -- therefore, this author is going to be called biased and unbiased by the 2 sides.I found this book an interesting account of how the issue of Karabagh was used by the National Democratic Movement (a loaded term -- basically, the people who were pro-democracy in the end of the USSR who also happened to all be of the ethnicity) in promoting their own goals. I read this book twice in an academic setting and found it to be one of the best on the subject.

Product of propaganda
I would advise to read this book to noone, maybe only to knowledgeable people, who know the real situation and won't be misled by the tricky description of the author. Why? Just to see the real face of Armeniannationalism in its veil of "national democracy".

Would not recommend. Very biased.
This is a very dangerous book. It is full of hatred and false information. I guess that is how "inspirational" material is created for racist movements.

The author claims that Garabagh is an Armenian landand justifies brutal crimes that Armenian armed units committed againstAzerbaijani population. In reality, Garabagh historically has never beenArmenian, and Armenians came there 150 years ago.Before the conflictstarted in 1988, Azeris made over 25% of population of Upper Garabaghautonomous province of Azerbaijan. In the beginning of this century, Azerismade over 50% of Upper Garabagh. This province even does not have borderswith Armenia and located in the center of Azerbaijan Republic. If you takethe whole Garabagh area, not just the upper part of it, Azeris make over75% of population. Armenians did not even have majority in this geographicarea. Now Azeris in those lands have been killed by Armenian aggressors orhad to flee from their homes.

The Armenian population of UpperGarabagh is 30 times smaller than the population of Armenian republic, andmore that 8 times smaller in territory. So, the book's story of"unification" or "self-determination" ofArmenians" is not valid, since Upper Garabagh Armenians (120,000people) do not make any significant share of Armenians in the world (over 5mln people). Armenian nation has already determined itself in ArmenianRepublic by three million Armenians. Armenians in Los Angeles have even abigger community than in Garabagh. Should they "determinethemselves" too?

Before 1988, Armenians in Azerbaijan lived atthe same rights and benefits like Azeris, and both Azerbaijan and Armeniawas ruled by Russia. Armenians in Garabagh had schools, TV programs and allcultural and administrative institutions in Armenian language. Even streetsigns and posters were in Armenian. So there can not be any talks aboutdiscrimination of Armenians either.

Great Book
With the collapse of the Soviet Union I have had an interest in researching the emergence of Armenia and other former Soviet states as independent countries.Mr. Malkasian provides the reader with a greatinsites into what occurred in Armenia earler this decade and how theconflict in Karabagh connects with the drive for Armenian statehood.Iwould recommend it to anyone who has any interest in the history of theregion. ...
