Karabakh teaches harsh lessons to those who accepted a ‘frozen conflict’

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:31:56 GMT

By agreeing to surrender their weapons, Armenian rebels in the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan have ended their attempt to create a breakaway state. Although a so-called ‘frozen conflict’ enabled them to hold out for decades, their final defeat was swift, sudden and ultimately inevitable in the face of Azerbaijan’s determination to reassert sovereignty over its sovereign territory, writes Political Editor Nick Powell.Even frozen conflicts do not last for ever. Russia, the United States and the European Union should have been shaken out of their complacency in 2020, when Azeri forces liberated all parts of their country that had been under Armenian occupation, with the exception of part of Kararabakh.This mountainous and beautiful region, considered to be the Azeris’ cultural heartland, has long had Armenians living there. But it had always been recognised as part of Azerbaijan, both by the Soviet Union and by the entire international community after independence from Moscow.Ever since...

Apashe is the Antagonist: Brussels-born/Montreal-based electronic artist Apashe got started with production first in different stages.“Around the age of 9, I started messing in Fruity Loops that my sister had installed on my dad’s computer,” he says. “It was kind of a game to me, you click on little boxes and it makes a simple beat. It’s only a few years later around the age 14/15, I realised that the same ‘game’ is actually a very powerful tool that I can use to make music similar to the one I listen to. That’s when I took this whole thing more seriously. Then later on when my music got some attention I started DJ-ing so I could play it at parties.”Apashe says that his sound today is hard to nail down.“It’s always hard to pinpoint because it goes in all directions but the one thing that often ties it all together is the classical or orchestral side of it,” Apashe says. “I can do a rap song, house or even drum and bass but the one thing that...
