Stepanakert: The Political-Institutional Dimension of the Conflict
摘要
This chapter is about the Nagorno-Karabakh capital Stepanakert. The history of the town is narrated from the Soviet times to the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War as a symbol of survival and statehood, where urban spaces encapsulate a communal memory. Political activism develops about different memorial setups, such as the Second World War, the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War, Mass Graves, the Armenian Genocide, the Sumgait Massacres, the 1988 earthquake in Armenia, monuments like “We Are Our Mountain”, and Revival Squares, as symbols of identity and belonging.
