Nagorno-Karabakh: Could the three decade-long conflict be coming to an end?

One of the world’s longest-running ethnic conflicts could be drawing to a close after Azerbaijan launched a successful offensive against Armenian separatists in the enclave. Despite assurances from the government of Azerbaijan, many ethnic Armenians fear ethnic cleansing in the wake of the separatists’ effective surrender.

Also on the programme: the row between Canada and India deepens as Justin Trudeau presents Delhi with evidence of the involvement of Indian government agents in the murder of a Canadian Sikh activist; and as further allegations emerged this week against British broadcaster Russell Brand, why are so many of his fans sticking by him?

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are barrister, journalist and author Sadakat Kadri and Lina Khatib, Professor of Politics and International Studies at SOAS.
