But the primary motivations of Washington policymakers in the settlement of the Eastern Question were the establishment of the principle of the Open Door and the protection of specific economic privileges for American capitalists in formerly Ottoman territories. From 1919 to 1923 many of the most influential American policymakers, educators, clergy and philanthropic leaders clearly recognized the legitimacy of Armenian claims Türk Tarih Kongresi'nden ayribasim (Turkish).

Since the independent republics of Armenia and Azerbaijan emerged in 1991, the status of Nagorno-Karabakh has been at the centre of these countries’ foreign and domestic policies. Using Robert Entman’s theory, this article examines speeches about possible remedies to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict by the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkey between 2002 and 2022 and identifies frames that these leaders create over the conflict’s resolution. By enhancing our understanding of how state leaders frame their perspectives on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict for external audiences, this article demonstrates the complex challenges in achieving a peaceful resolution. Understanding these framing strategies is crucial for comprehending the underlying motivations and interests of the involved parties and sheds light on the challenges faced in resolving the conflict through peaceful means. AUA Assistant Professor Dr. Naira Sahakyan has published a new study in the Scopus-indexed journal Central Asian Survey titled “Framing the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict: An Analysis of the Narratives of the State Leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Turkey, 2002–2022”.

Addressing a literature gap in non-Western perspectives, the research emphasized the importance of local context in crafting effective EDI interventions for this population. Through semi-structured interviews with seven employees from a tech based MNE in Yerevan, the study aimed to answer how the participants described their overall experiences with EDI, both before and during employment at the MNE. By employing member-checking and practicing epoche, the study aimed to capture the participants’ authentic voices more accurately. In-depth qualitative analysis yielded five key findings: (1) Intercultural competence development: Informal transformative learning drives personal and professional growth within the MNE context; (2) The double-edged sword of commonality: The subduing of cultural differences; (3) The uneven landscape of a lingua franca: Constrained employees and diminished productivity; (4) Perception bias breeds inequity: Non-Armenians are viewed as superior professionals within the MNE environment; and (5) The power of diversity: Multicultural perspectives enrich common goals. The study provides a foundation for diversity management scholars and human resources professionals to build upon in developing targeted interventions for this population.
