Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict

The Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict is between Armenia and Azerbaijan over a region called Nagorno-Karabakh, heavily populated by ethnic Armenians but within Azerbaijan's borders. Since the Soviet Union's collapse, tensions have led to armed clashes, with Armenia supporting Nagorno-Karabakh's independence efforts and Azerbaijan asserting control. Periodic conflicts have caused thousands of deaths and displacements. Despite ceasefires, the conflict remains unresolved, with both sides holding exaggerated claims and deep mistrust, making peaceful resolution complex. The conflict reflects broader regional tensions and historical grievances rooted in ethnic identity, borders, and sovereignty.
