Abstract

The conflict that arose between Soviet Armenia and Soviet Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh in 1988 festered throughout the final years of the Soviet Union and sparked a major war between the newly independent Armenia and Azerbaijan in 1992–1994. Most accounts of this period have suggested that the administration of George H. W. Bush took a largely hands-off approach to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, but this article shows that in fact the Bush administration pursued a much more active policy that reflected support for the Soviet Union and then Russia, a strong domestic Armenian-American lobby, and regional priorities, as well as a growing awareness of the West's failure to stem violence in Yugoslavia. The Bush administration was hoping to prevent all-out war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, but after the war began, the administration did what it could to try to limit and halt the violence.
寒冬伊始:乔治-H-W-布什政府、纳戈尔诺-卡拉巴赫冲突和冷战后世界的兴起
1988 年,前苏联亚美尼亚和前苏联阿塞拜疆之间因纳戈尔诺-卡拉巴赫问题发生冲突,冲突在前苏联最后几年不断恶化,并于 1992-1994 年在新独立的亚美尼亚和阿塞拜疆之间引发了一场大规模战争。关于这一时期的大多数报道都认为,乔治-H-W-布什政府对纳戈尔诺-卡拉巴赫冲突基本上采取了袖手旁观的态度,但本文指出,事实上,布什政府奉行的政策要积极得多,这反映了对苏联和后来的俄罗斯的支持、强大的美籍亚美尼亚人国内游说团体和地区优先事项,以及对西方未能阻止南斯拉夫暴力的日益增长的认识。布什政府希望防止亚美尼亚和阿塞拜疆之间爆发全面战争,但在战争开始后,政府尽其所能试图限制和制止暴力。
