Explainer: Who's fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh, and why does it matter?

It’s a mountainous, forested patch of land that sits inside the territory of ex-Soviet Azerbaijan and is recognised under international law as part of that country. But the ethnic Armenians who make up the vast majority of the estimated 150,000 population reject Azeri rule. They have been running their own affairs, with support from Armenia, since Azerbaijan’s troops were pushed out in a war in the 1990s.

He did not directly address whether Turkey is supplying the Azeri side with military experts, drones and warplanes, as Armenia has alleged and Azerbaijan has denied.Past outbreaks of fighting have killed some 30,000 people since 1988. Already dozens have been killed and several hundred wounded in the latest flare-up.

Armenians are not in NagornoKarabagh by chance. NK has been Armenian land historically, facts about this goes back to 4th century BC. There were no Azerbaijan at that time. It was given to Soviet Azerbaijan by Stalin illogically, when 95% of he population were Armenians.

Dont forget, Armenians killed Europeans in 1983 Orly Airport bombing France. StopArmenianTerrorism

And why does it matter?

Azerbaijan is exercising its right to restore its territorial integrity and end the occupation of Karabakh! The Fascist Republic of Armenia is given a well deserved retribution for its aggressive policy which has been threatening the whole region! KarabakhisAzerbaijan

“Russia potentially holds the key”

As approved bu several UN decisions Karabag was within Azerbaijan until Armenia occupied it. So easiest way to stop the clashes is the withdrawal of Armenian army from the region and stop agression towards civil targets.
