Karabakh region

The Karabakh region, also known as Nagorno-Karabakh, is a landlocked area in the South Caucasus, primarily populated by ethnic Armenians but internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan. Historically intertwined with both cultures, it has been a focal point of conflict, leading to a war in the 1990s and ongoing tensions. The region's status remains disputed, with periodic clashes and a fragile ceasefire. Its strategic importance and ethnic composition make it a complex, sensitive issue in regional and international diplomacy.
