44-day War (2020)

The 44-day War in 2020 refers to the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, a mostly Armenian-populated area within Azerbaijan. Despite a ceasefire signed in 1994, tensions escalated, leading to intense fighting in September 2020. Over approximately six weeks, Azerbaijan launched a military campaign, ultimately recapturing significant territories. The conflict resulted in thousands of deaths and displaced many residents. A Russia-brokered ceasefire ended the hostilities in late 2020, with Armenia ceding control of some territories, highlighting the ongoing political and ethnic tensions in the region.
