Analyticon

A monthly journal of critical analysis

  • From: February 2010 - February 2015
  • Type:

Analyticon was a trilingual monthly journal, produced in Armenian, Russian and English. It is available online and  in print.

The journal published short-form analysis of conflict and peace process dynamics and was written primarily by journalists and analysts from the South Caucasus. The primary target audience was policy-makers, with the aim of bringing policy circles in Nagorny Karabakh into wider regional debates. It was hoped that it would also reach a wider general audience.

The editorial policy was to provide a space for critical analysis in Nagorny Karabakh, from a range of different perspectives. The aim was to present alternative opinions and ideas that would become the subject of public discussion and open opportunities for new discourse.

Each issue took a specific theme, for example “Unrecognized States: International Standards and Status” or “South Caucasus and Developments in the Middle East”. It then published a range of views and analysis around this theme.

Between 2010 and 2015 (when it was funded by Conciliation Resources), the journal received around 3,000 website visits per month and had a print circulation of around 500.

Analyticon continues to have an online presence and to publish analysis of the conflict. It remains popular not only among political circles, but also with civil society experts, political scientists and journalists.

Project stakeholder
The unified political view of the main parties in the de facto government means Analyticon takes a line of ‘quiet conversation without strong criticism, to open up alternative ideas’ among those stakeholder groups. Given Nagorny Karabakh’s media isolation, Analyticon provides essential information not available elsewhere, including analysis from Azerbaijan.
