The Role of Chosen Intergenerational Traumas in The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in The Light of The Theory of Vamık D. Volkan
Pits, Anastasia ; Oberpfalzerová, Hana (advisor) ; Karásek, Tomáš (referee)
My bachelor thesis is based on studies of Vamik D. Volkan and his analysis about psychology of conflicts. The studies are applied on chosen traumas of intractable conflict in Karabakh. The bachelor thesis suggests an investigation upon the influence of those traumas on the intensity of conflict and their exploitation for political and national mobilization. According to methodological point of view, Volkans theory of chosen trauma is presented firstly. Afterwards, an detailed analysis of conflict in Karabakh, its main political features and historical development would be shown. Firstly, an emphasis is made on those events, which represent elements of Volkan theory on chosen trauma. The investigation compares chosen traumas of Armenians and Azerbaijanis and their influence on modern policy upon the conflict in Karabakh. The goal of this project is to show that media and press makes an emphasis on Genocide as a chosen trauma of Armenians, while the traumas of Azerbaijanis are mostly ignored, however, it's impossible to deny their existence. Furthermore, chosen traumas of both countries would be compared and contrasted. To sum up, the exploitation of chosen traumas by politicians would be analyzed between the years 1988-1994 to show their role for mobilization.

Constructing Nagorno-Karabakh: a diachronic discourse analysis
Davidson White, Imogen ; Aslan, Emil (advisor) ; Horák, Slavomír (referee)
In over 20 years of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, there has been no significant progress towards a peaceful agreement. It has been argued that there is not enough incentive for leaders to agree to a compromise and that the citizens are not ready to accept one. In this context, the way the conflict and the enemy are described in public discourse is important not only because it represents the viewpoints of those producing the discourse but because it can have a real effect on public opinion. This paper examines discourse on Azerbaijan and the future of Nagorno-Karabakh in an official newspaper, showing that distrust of Azerbaijan and rigid expectations about the future of Nagorno-Karabakh are dominant.

Hladík, Jan ; Pargač, Jan (advisor) ; Šatava, Leoš (referee)
The Historical Causes of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict The following bachelor thesis covers the historical development of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The main goal is to analyse the question of the area changes that have occured in the Caucasus during centuries and also to show the influnce of policy of three main empires - Russian, Ottoman and Persian. The text is also trying to outline the ethnic and religious factors and clarify a relation of Christian Armenians and Shi'a Muslim Azeris in the Transcaucasus. The problem of coexistence between Armenian Christians and surrounding Muslim majority - not only Azeris on the east but also Turks and Kurds, is crucial for understanding of situation in the region.

The constitutional position of Nagorno-Karabakh
Barsegyan, Karmen ; Suchánek, Radovan (advisor) ; Hřebejk, Jiří (referee)
Resumé Tato diplomová práce se zabývá historií, státoprávním postavením, statusem a uznáním Náhorního Karabachu. Problematika Náhorního Karabachu je často diskutovaným a politický ožehavým tématem mezinárodního společenství. Otázka Náhorního Karabachu je předně otázkou právní, ale má přímé politické důsledky. Náhorní Karabach je územím o rozloze 4400 km2, nacházejícím se na jihozápadě Ázerbájdžánu a ve východní části arménského pohoří. Arménie a Ázerbájdžán vedou o toto území dlouholetý spor, který v období rozpadu Sovětského Svazu na počátku 90. let 20. století vygradoval v regulérní válečný konflikt. Větší část území Karabachu je v současné době fakticky kontrolována neuznanou Republikou Náhorní Karabach. Status Náhorního Karabachu je sporný. Na Náhorní Karabach se dá pohlížet jako na nezávislý stát. Republika Náhorní Karabach, která má: státní území, obyvatelstvo a efektivní vládu, která skutečně drží moc v zemi, čímž vykazuje tři základní kritéria předepsaná mezinárodním právem proto, aby byla na základě nezadatelného práva národa na sebeurčení uznána suverénním státem. V současném světě však kromě těchto tří základních kritérii se setkáváme i s dalším institutem mezinárodního práva, a to sice uznáním státu za plnoprávného člena mezinárodního společenství, kterého se však do dnešního dne Náhornímu...

Instruments for international organizations to compel their member states. An example of the conflict in Nagorno Karabakh.
Klepš, Václav ; Ondřej, Jan (advisor) ; Balaš, Vladimír (referee)
in English The object of this diploma thesis is to answer the question, how can international organizations (UN, Council of Europe and OSCE) effectively regulate conflicts among their member states, or which instruments are they for this purpose equipped with. The thesis is divided into three main parts - theoretical study, part dedicated to the individual international organizations and the case study. The first part offers a definition of basic legal concepts, as they will be used in the following parts of the study with an emphasis on the definition of the concept "coercion". The following part deals with the instruments of coercion the international organizations are equipped with. In the third part are the findings from the previous parts confronted with a real case of the effort to regulate the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia in Nagorno Karabakh. This structure of the thesis can be also described as a progress from a theoretic basis, through an applied theory contained in particular agreements, to their practical realization in the concrete case. Based on the completed study the author concludes that unilateral instruments of coercion, that the particular organizations have at their disposal, are often not appropriate (exclusion from organization), ineffective (political declaration)...

The main factors that influenced the Turkish-Armenian relations
Volochová, Lucia ; Volenec, Otakar (advisor) ; Kochan, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with two factors that worsened the relations between Turkey and Armenia. The aim of this work is their analysis. The first serious factor is the events from the times of WWI committed by the Ottoman Empire on the Armenian population, known as the Armenian genocide, which Turkey denies almost one hundred years. Armenians demand an official recognition of genocide from Turkey. The second issue is the border between Turkey and Armenia which was closed in response to the Armenian aggression on the territory of Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. Although the war ended, no peace treaty has been ratified ever since. Despite the fact that there has been some development based on an effort to improve relations of the mentioned countries, their relations are still at the freezing point and there is no indication of obvious changes for the better.

The Application of the Clash of Civilizations Theory to the Conflicts in the South Caucasus
Šilhán, Vojtěch ; Cibulková, Petra (advisor) ; Havlová, Radka (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to determine whether it is possible to apply the concept of Samuel Huntington's clash of civilizations to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The thesis is divided into two chapters. The first one deals with a summary of Huntington's publication The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order. At the end of the chapter, four premises of the validity of the clash of civilizations hypothesis are made. The second chapter deals with the analysis of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict with an emphasis on the causes of the conflict and the role of primary, secondary and tertiary actors. Subsequently, it examines whether the premises laid down in the first chapter comply with the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

The impact of Turkish-Armenian relations on the resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
Kotásková, Tereza ; Cibulková, Petra (advisor) ; Havlová, Radka (referee)
The unsolved conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh and problematic Turkish-Armenian relations are the main sources of instability in South Caucasus. For historic and ethnic reasons, both Azerbaijan and Armenia claim the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. Turkey closed its border with Armenia as an expression of solidarity with Azerbaijan during the Nagorno-Karabakh war in the early nineties. Azerbaijan was military defeated and Armenia took control over one fifth of the Azerbaijani territory. Signing two protocols on the normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia in 2009 raised hopes that this could have a positive impact also on the resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. If the protocols were ratified, this assumption would be probably fulfilled. However, the protocols have not been ratified so far. Considering other factors, any significant progress in any of these issues cannot be expected in the near future.
