Azerbaijan and Armenia have a long history of disputes in the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Let's take a look at the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the origin of the Nagorno-Karabakh problem.
"Nagorno-Karabakh" is the abbreviation of "Nagorno-Karabakh". Located in the South Caucasus region and covering an area of about 4,400 square kilometers, Nagorno-Karabakh was an autonomous region in southwestern Azerbaijan during Soviet times, but the local population is mostly ethnic Armenian and has been seeking to annex the Nagorno-Karabakh region to Armenia.
In 1988, the authorities of Nagorno-Karabakh region, which was mainly composed of ethnic Armenians, demanded that this area be transferred to Armenia, which the Azerbaijani side firmly refused, and armed conflict broke out between the Azerbaijani and Armenian communities in the region. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, war broke out between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh, and Armenia controlled Nagorno-Karabakh and parts of the territory formerly belonging to Azerbaijan. In 1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia agreed on a comprehensive ceasefire, but the two countries have been in a state of hostility over the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, and armed conflicts have occurred from time to time.
In September 2020, a new round of conflict broke out between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh. On November 9 of the same year, the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a statement announcing a complete ceasefire in the Nagorno-Karabakh region from midnight Moscow time on November 10. According to the statement, Russia deploys peacekeepers in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
