Azerbaijan’s post-conflict reconstruction in Karabakh is attracting international attention. The book by British author Graeme Wilson documents this journey, combining first-hand reporting and digital storytelling to highlight both the region’s restoration and the human stories behind it.
On AnewZ’s Daybreak programme on Friday (12 December), Graeme Wilson, author of Revival of Karabakh: The Story of Azerbaijan’s Renaissance, discussed the region’s journey from occupation to reconstruction.
The book, based on first-hand reporting and personal accounts, uses interviews and digital storytelling to capture both the human cost of war and the hope of renewal.
Wilson explained that his interest in Karabakh began during his first visits to Azerbaijan in 2008–2009 while working on the authorised biography of President Ilham Aliyev.
He praised the president’s role in diplomacy and rebuilding, comparing it to post-conflict reconstruction in Somalia, Bosnia and Sri Lanka. Wilson highlighted the return of displaced families and revitalised communities, emphasising the human side of the revival.
The book is integrated into a dedicated digital ecosystem. By scanning hundreds of embedded QR codes, readers can access additional materials on the project’s website, including extended photo galleries and other resources.
Discussing its innovative format, Wilson said: "These digital tools allow us to take the Azerbaijan story internationally… not just about the ownership of Karabakh, but the stories of the people, from ministers to internally displaced persons (IDPs) who shared their experiences."
Wilson noted that Revival of Karabakh helps shape global understanding of the region’s reconstruction, offering a template for post-conflict recovery and socio-economic growth. It also attracts interest from readers worldwide.
