ARMENIA, THE COLONEL'S FOUR WARS

The world in all its states

An episode from the series ARTE INVESTIGATION

Synopsis

On September 13, 2022, the Azerbaijani army launched a new massive offensive against Armenia. Three days of fighting, more than 300 dead, and 10,000 displaced later, the toll is heavy.

Behind this seemingly endless war lies the plan to create a continuous Turkish corridor stretching from the Mediterranean to Central Asia, at the expense of Armenia’s territorial integrity.

To tell this story, we met with an exceptional guide: Gilbert Minassian, a colonel who fought in four wars, and spent thirty years fighting alongside his people.
