“Origins: Current Events in Historical Perspective,” a publication at the Ohio State University, has recently featured “A Postcard from Nagorno Karabakh,” a detailed and well-illustrated background on Karabakh, its present and history, prepared by Pietro Shakarian, a PhD candidate in Russian History at OSU.

For the “postcard” Shakarian drew on his personal travel in Karabakh and published research, including two items by Focus on Karabakh: a partialliterature review on origins of the place-name Karabakh and an interviewwith a prominent commentator on Caucasus topics.
