Artsakh Liberation War

The Artsakh Liberation War (1988-1994) was a conflict between the ethnic Armenians in the Nagorno-Karabakh region and Azerbaijan, amid the Soviet Union's decline. Armenians sought independence or union with Armenia, citing historical ties, while Azerbaijan aimed to assert control over the region. The war resulted in significant casualties and displaced many people. A ceasefire was established in 1994, leaving Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding territories under Armenian control, though the conflict remains unresolved, with periodic clashes and ongoing tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the region's status.
