The recent events in the South Caucasus have once again brought to light the deep-seated psychological wounds left by the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. A recent video analysis sheds light on the contrasting ways in which Armenian and Azerbaijani societies have processed the conflict's aftermath.

The video's use of historical footage adds context, illustrating the long-term psychological consequences of the conflict. The author's analysis provides a valuable insight into the complex emotional landscape of the region, emphasizing the need for reconciliation and healing. The contrasting narratives presented in the video underscore the urgent need for addressing the psychological wounds of the conflict to facilitate lasting peace.
