Nagorno-Karabakh conflict

The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is a long-standing and complex territorial dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Here's an overview of the key aspects:

Background

● Location: Nagorno-Karabakh is a mountainous region in the South Caucasus, internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but predominantly populated by ethnic Armenians¹.

● Historical Context: The conflict has deep historical roots, with tensions escalating during the late Soviet era. In 1988, ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh sought to secede from Azerbaijan, leading to the First Nagorno-Karabakh War (1988-1994)¹.

Major Conflicts

1. First Nagorno-Karabakh War (1988-1994):

○ Outcome: The war ended with a ceasefire in 1994, with Armenian forces controlling Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding Azerbaijani territories¹.

2. Second Nagorno-Karabakh War (2020):

○ Outcome: A six-week war in 2020 resulted in significant territorial gains for Azerbaijan. A ceasefire brokered by Russia ended the conflict, with Azerbaijan reclaiming parts of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding areas².

Recent Developments

● 2023 Offensive: In September 2023, Azerbaijan launched a military offensive, leading to the surrender of Nagorno-Karabakh's local forces. The region's separatist government announced it would dissolve by January 2024².

● Humanitarian Impact: The conflict has caused significant displacement and humanitarian crises, with tens of thousands of ethnic Armenians fleeing the region².

International Involvement

● Mediation and Peacekeeping: Russia has played a key role in mediating ceasefires and deploying peacekeepers. Other countries, including Turkey and Iran, have also been involved in various capacities¹².

Current Status

● Ceasefire and Integration: As of late 2023, a ceasefire is in place, and discussions are ongoing about the integration of Nagorno-Karabakh into Azerbaijan².

The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict remains one of the most enduring and volatile disputes in the post-Soviet space, with deep-seated historical, ethnic, and geopolitical dimensions.
