Episode 3: Interview with Dr. Gurgen Petrossian on Legal Responses to the Artsakh War

In this episode, Anti-Genocide Coffee Break podcast hosts speak with Dr. Gurgen Petrossian, LL.M. (Heidelberg), a senior researcher at Frederick Alexander University in Erlangen, Germany, and head of its International Criminal Law Research Group. He is also Chairperson of the German-Armenian Lawyers' Association. We speak with Dr. Petrossian about the German Armenian Lawyers Association and a new claim they have submitted against Azerbaijan in the German courts for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the Second Artsakh War in 2020. As part of this discussion, we cover, among other subjects: - An overview of the history of the Artsakh territories, including the first and second wars; - Azerbaijani propaganda and anti-Armenianism; - Turkish foreign policy; - International law related to atrocity crimes; - "Genocidal intent" in law and practice; - Germany's recent history with universal jurisdiction; and - The role of domestic courts in genocide prevention.

Episode 2: Turkish Foreign Policy

Co-hosts Elisa von Joeden-Forgey, Irene Massimino, and Hoshman Ismail return to discuss recent news across the world related to genocide, to do a deep dive into Turkish foreign policy, and offer a quick update on Iraq. To commemorate the 33rd anniversary of the Halabja genocide on March 16, Hoshman shares his experiences as a ten year old boy during the chemical attacks. Other news briefly mentioned are the new report from the nonpartisan US-based Newslines Institute for Strategy and Policy on "The Uyghur Genocide"; the coup in Myanmar; recent atrocities in Mozambique; continuing conflict and genocide in the Tigray region of Ethiopia; and renewed threats to Armenian territorial integrity from Azerbaijan and Turkey. The "In Depth" segment involves a wide-ranging discussion of Turkish foreign policy in Syria, Iraq and the South Caucus in the past decade based on Hoshman's research, outlining Turkish links to ISIS and longer-term aims in the region. Finally, the hosts discuss the recent rejection by Yazidi elders of children born to Yazidi women who were held captive and raped by ISIS militants.

Episode 1: Pope Francis's Visit to Iraq

Co-hosts Elisa von Joeden-Forgey, Irene Massimino, and Hoshman Ismail introduce the Anti-Genocide Coffee Break: A Multinational Podcast. They also discuss the Iraq Project for Genocide Prevention (IPG) and Pope Francis's recent visit to Iraq! Along the way, Elisa reads the Al Jazeera Op-Ed written by Cal State professor Ibrahim Al-Marashi entitled "Pope Francis’s Visit to Iraq: Beyond the Symbolism" in which he argues that "Interfaith dialogue is important, but the fate of Iraqi minorities is hinged on the success of state-building in Iraq." The team agrees, but also points out the political implications and ramifications of the Pope's message to Iraqis.
