• Caucasus Studies
• +3 more

Artyom Artashes Tonoyan serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Iranian Studies at Yerevan State University's Faculty of Oriental Studies. His scholarly profile uniquely bridges linguistic anthropology and political science, with primary research foci on Caucasian Persian dialects (particularly Tati and Talysh) and Caucasus geopolitical dynamics including the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and Kurdish minority issues in Azerbaijan. His research interests integrate Iranian Studies, Caucasus linguistics, and political conflict analysis. Key areas include Persian dialectology in non-Iranian contexts, historical lexicography of endangered Caucasian languages, post-Soviet ethnic policy frameworks, and identity construction in conflict zones. His interdisciplinary approach examines how linguistic features reflect sociopolitical realities, particularly regarding minority language preservation amid nationalist state-building. Analysis of his recent publications reveals three converging trajectories: linguistic documentation of Tati/Talysh dialects, critical examination of Azerbaijan's foreign policy evolution, and intersectional studies of leadership concepts across cultures. His political analyses frequently employ ontological security theory to understand identity-driven conflicts, while linguistic work emphasizes historical continuity through lexical preservation. This dual methodology provides nuanced insights into how language shapes political identity in the Caucasus.
