We are delighted to announce the publication of the landmark 50th issue of the Review of Armenian Studies (RAS), a testament to our enduring commitment to providing insightful scholarly analysis on Armenian-and Caucasus related issues.

This special edition, titled "Geopolitical Dynamics and Historical Narratives in the Caucasus," features two pivotal sections: "Historical Contexts and Cultural Reflections" and "Regional Influence and Memory." These sections collectively explore the intricate tapestry of the Caucasus region's history, its current geopolitical climate, and the persistent influence of past events on present-day politics and identity.
