Dozens have been reported killed and hundreds wounded since fighting between the two former Soviet republics broke out on Sunday.

The contested mountainous enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but it has been under de facto Armenian control since the early 1990s.Leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan have dismissed the suggestion of holding peace talks, accusing each other of obstructing negotiations.

Azerbaijan, a mainly Muslim country of almost 10 million people, is to the east of neighboring Armenia and borders Iran, Turkey, Georgia, Russia, and the Caspian Sea. Many link Turkey's support of Azerbaijan to the mass killing of 1.5 million Armenians by Ottoman Turks in 1915, which Armenia says amounted to genocide. Turkey has resisted calls to recognize the killings as genocide, saying the death toll has been inflated and those killed were victims of a civil war.

French President Emmanuel Macron attends a press conference with Latvia's Prime Minister after their meeting on September 30, 2020 in Riga, Latvia, during Macron's official visit to Latvia and the Baltic region.Speaking at a news conference in Riga, Latvia on Wednesday, Macron said he was "extremely preoccupied by the belligerent messages from Turkey in the past hours, which are removing Azerbaijan's inhibitions in what would be a recapture of the Nagorno-Karabakh.

"As the scope of the stand-off is particularly great, this scenario is still dangerous and presents chances every day for unintended escalation," they said. "It would involve a limited amount of financial strain on Azerbaijan, who is prepared to finance a short-term operation, and probably greater strain on Armenia's fewer financial resources and in light of its general mobilization.

Did you wanna mention how artsakh ended in the hands of Azerbaijan? I’ll tell you, Stalin stole it for them. And per international law, residents have the right to self-determination, and the residents of artsakh did just that.

Man, wtf?! Where’s the mention of paying Syrian mercenaries to attack armenia, the international laws Turkey and Azerbaijan violated in the last couple days and over the years, Azerbaijan barring foreign journalists. This is some bullshit journalism
