Episode 7: Representing Genocide in Azerbaijan with Luciana Minassian


Listen Later

Co-hosts Elisa von Joeden-Forgey and Irene Massimino welcome guest co-host Luciana Minassian, Argentine lawyer and Assistant Professor at the University of Buenos Aires Law School, to discuss the Second Artskah War and Azerbaijan's new Military Trophy Park, which includes displays of helmets of killed Armenian soldiers and racist wax figures depicting Armenian soldiers in various positions, including poses that suggest they are in the process of dying or already dead.

Luciana shared her experiences visiting Artsakh in December 2016 and discusses the question of indigeneity, self-determiniation, war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, the mistreatment of Armenian POWs, and the power and varieties of activism.

At the end of the podcast they ask whether Azerbaijan may have gone one step too far with the Military Trophy Park, even for its most blind and willing supporters.

The hosts also discuss Amnesty International's recent report on Boko Haram and crimes against women and girls in Nigeria, the upcoming House of Commons vote in the UK about the Uyghur genocide, and the doctored photos of Tuol Sleng/S21 victims from the Cambodian genocide.
