Conflito e Abuso de Poder: os obstáculos para a paz em Nagorno-Karabakh à luz da Teoria de Raiz Narrativa

Abstract

Based on the analytical process of elements and narrative structures present in the official speeches of the leaders of the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan, this article seeks to understand the possible reasons why conflicts in the Nagorno-Karabakh region still persist until the days of today, and how the narratives constructed by the two nations influence this process. To this end, it is observed that the contributions of Solon Simmons, presented in his Narrative Root Theory, are capable of supporting the analysis proposed here with the theoretical framework consistent with methodological needs. The hypothesis imagines that the narratives of the two nations support the perpetuation of animosities, preventing openness to discussions about lasting peace agreements.
