Abstract: The developments in and around Armenia after 2017 directly
and indirectly impacted the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, influencing both
negotiations and their perceptions.
The internal political processes of Armenia during 2018 (known as the
"Velvet Revolution") initiated active political changes, which, despite the
declared continuation of the course of Armenian foreign policy, brought
certain changes to the process of the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict and the developments surrounding it. The public perception of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict underwent certain transformations, and the
Armenian authorities came up with new emphases and approaches,
forming new tendencies in international perceptions and expectations.
The aim of this article is to examine the transformation of the Nagorno-
Karabakh conflict settlement process and its perception in the context of
modern political processes, both domestic and international, and to
highlight key tendencies.
Keywords: Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, political modernization,
democratization, Artsakh Republic, perceptions of the conflict.
