Abstract
Armenia and Azerbaijan have been deadlocked in several lengthy and virulent conflicts over a semi-autonomous territory between the two countries called Artzakh (in Armenian) and Nogorno-Karabakh (in Russian and Azerbaijani). The region is populated mostly by Armenians, but since 1924 has been within the borders of Azerbaijan. The conflict erupted into wars on several occasions (1989, 2016, and 2020), which resulted in large-scale refugee crises, cultural destruction, and many casualties. Caught in this violence are the people who have lived in this area for thousands of years. In this thesis, I identify factors that determine the resilience of individuals during and after the war.
