We present an interview with the director and artistic director of Stepanakert Russian Drama Theater Zhanna Krikorova.
Zhanna has worked as a journalist for a long time, headed different positions and directly followed the process of Armenian-Azerbaijani negotiations from the very beginning.
Episode 1
"In 1994, I started to deal with the Karabakh conflict as a journalist and worked in conflict research organizations. Our goal was to resolve the conflict peacefully."
Episode 2
"For the Armenian authorities, Karabakh was only needed to come to power and get rid of the communists. But it was a righteous movement caused by the discriminatory policies of the authorities of Soviet Azerbaijan."
Episode 3
"Throughout the Armenian-Azerbaijani negotiation process, Armenia behaved quite constructively. But there were no mechanisms by which Azerbaijan would fulfill its promises."
Episode 4
"Already in 2016 it was clear that there would be a full-scale war, but the entire Armenian people lived in a great delusion. In 2020 I lost my house in Shushi, everything became meaningless. But I was able to gather strength and resume theater work in Artsakh only after a long break."
To be continued. Catch the next episodes of interviews with Zhanna Krikorova and other heroes of the “Victory and Suitcase” series on our website every week.
