Artsakh and Gaza: A Parallel Struggle

Klara Francesca Junkar

Abstract

Armenian experiences in Artsakh and Palestinian experiences in Gaza are very much similar to each other. Both communities have a history of discrimination and experiences of genocide – Armenia in 1915, Palestine in the present. Both are threatened by a more powerful external adversary that clearly shows intentions to exterminate the entire community – Armenians by Azerbaijan, Palestinians by Israel. Solidarity between each other has therefore developed in both communities. In this text, I briefly describe some of the characteristics that bind these communities together and explain why they support each other.
The primarily used method is the analysis of historical and modern literature and articles, with a small addition of my personal experiences and conversations.
