The Caucasus Front: A Little-Known Episode of the First World War

What was the impact and the place of the Caucasus Front during the Great War? As conflict engulfed Europe and the Middle East, Russia and the Ottoman Empire clashed along their shared eastern border, with support from Germany. Positioned between the European and Middle Eastern theatres of war, was the Caucasus Front merely a secondary battleground, or did it play a crucial role in shaping the Armistice of 1918?

As part of the April commemoration of the Armenian Genocide of 1915, the Boghossian Foundation explores this pivotal moment in history with a conference on the Caucasus Front featuring Cloé Drieu, Claire Mouradian, and Gaïdz Minassian.

Cloé Drieu is a French historian specialising in Central Asia and mass violence. She is a research fellow at the CNRS, where she is part of the Centre for Turkish, Ottoman, Balkan, and Central Asian Studies.

Claire Mouradian is a historian specialising in Armenia and the Caucasus. She is a director of research at the CNRS within the Centre for Russian, Caucasian and Central European Studies.

Gaïdz Minassian is a journalist at Le Monde and a lecturer at the Paris Institute for Political Studies (Science Po Paris).
