Armenian Intellectuals’ Debates on the Formula ‘Peace without Annexations’ and the Destiny of Turkish Armenia after the 1917 Russian Revolution
Polatel, Mehmet. 2025. Armenians and Land Disputes in the Ottoman Empire, 1850–1914
Reinterpreting the 1917 Revolution in Daghestan
This article examines the 1917 Revolution in Daghestan through the lens of a newly uncovered vernacular source: the Arabic-language manuscript Tarīkh al-inqilāb fī Dāghistān (History of the Revolution in Daghestan) by Ali Kaiaev, a prominent Daghestani scholar of Islam. This article argues that Kaiaev’s account provides a crucial alternative perspective to the historiographies shaped by Soviet, Western, and post-Soviet scholars, who often overloo…
Shifts in Azerbaijani discourse
This article examines Heydar Aliyev’s political discourse on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict during his presidency, focusing on the negotiation process and proposed solutions. While much scholarly attention has been given to the broader geopolitical and military aspects of the conflict, this study analyzes Aliyev’s evolving rhetoric within the context of shifting geopolitical and regional dynamics. Using discourse and narrative analysis to examine …
Framing the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
The modern phase of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan has lasted for over three decades. 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, Azerbaija…
The rhetorical face of enmity
This article focuses on the process of othering through the creation of the ‘enemy image’ in the context of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in Ilham Aliyev’s speeches delivered between 2016 and 2020. Based on narrative and discourse analysis of the speeches, this article demonstrates the main discursive practices used by Aliyev to dehumanize Armenians. These analyses uncover three main components: identification of Armenians as the sole menace for …
Clientelism and Nationality in an Early Soviet Fiefdom
Searching for Democracy, Finding Nationalism
In May 2018 a democratic breakthrough occurred in Armenia known as the Velvet Revolution. The leader of the protests was Nikol Pashinyan, who after the resignation of Serzh Sargsyan became the prime minister of Armenia. Pashinyan’s coming to power coincidentally overlapped with the celebrations of the centennial of the First Republic of Armenia, which, particularly in the post-Soviet era, is largely considered to be the point marking the revival …
A Local Face of Revolution
This article investigates debates between religious leaders in Dagestan during the Russian Revolution on the state-building project of imamate. Analysing the attempt of a group of religious leaders led by Najm al-Dīn Gotsinsky to reestablish the Dagestani imamate, the article situates that struggle within the broader context of the Russian Revolution, where the Whiles and the Reds were fighting for the power. As is demonstrated, debates over the …

Language debate and visions of the future in revolutionary Dagestan
The collapse of the old order in the Russian Empire in 1917 gave an opportunity to intellectuals on imperial borders to draft and implement their own visions of the future. The language debate in Dagestan was crucial in these plans given the multi-national character of the country. While Muslim scholars agreed on the importance of language, their opinions differed in the choice of Arabic, Turkic, various Dagestani languages or Russian. On the bas…

For the past two years, the historians of the Russian Revolution and the Civil War have published a number of books, devoted to those large-scale events of the 20th century. Most of these books analyze the Revolution and the Civil War in the former imperial centers, i.e. Petrograd and Moscow. The more valuable are the works on the situation and political actors on the peripheries. Among those works is the book of G. Kakagasanov about the famous D…
