Karabakh conflict

The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is a long-standing dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, a mostly ethnic Armenian area within Azerbaijan's borders. Historically intertwined, tensions escalated into full-scale war during the late 20th century, leading to casualties and displacement. Despite ceasefires, clashes continue periodically, fueled by national pride, historical grievances, and territorial claims. The conflict remains unresolved, with both sides seeking international support and diplomats working toward a peaceful solution. The situation reflects complex ethnic, political, and regional factors that make lasting peace challenging.
