The Socio-Economic Problems of The Nagorno Karabakh Emigrants

Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze the socio-economic problems of the Nagorno Karabakh community after they became refugees by being coerced into emigration. The topic of the research is the problem of "asylum-seeking" and "forced emigration", which started at the end of the 1980s. This paper first gives an account of the forced emigrations which occurred in the 19th century in order to provide a general framework of the topic. That is why the discussion begins with the refugee problem in Azerbaijan and focuses on and analyzes the effects of the problem on socio-economic life from a historical viewpoint. The paper then attempts to explain how the plans concerning the estrangement of Azerbaijanis from their national identity and the apportionment of Azerbaijani territory were systematized through the Armenian question.
