The Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict arose over the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. Back in the days of the Soviet Union, this land belonged to the Republic of Azerbaijan. Only the USSR no longer exists for more than 20 years, and the problem has remained unresolved so far. And while it stands still. The heads of states applying for this territory cannot agree among themselves, and what can we say about the population of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Karabakh conflict
This confrontation began back in the distant 80s, when the Armenians began to ask the government to give Karabakh under the rule of Armenia. The Azerbaijanis living in this territory protested. Everyone began to pull the blanket over themselves. This is where the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict flared up, which has not subsided so far. Skirmishes regularly occur in this territory. Attempts to reconcile citizens who almost equally lived on the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh were futile.
Maybe because of the stubbornness of both states, the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict is not moving off the ground. 1992 was marked as the peak of the confrontation, and the republic became one of the hot spots in the East. The war began between the inhabitants of the republic of Nagorno-Karabakh. Armenia and Azerbaijan received armed support from Russia, which tried to control the conflict in this way. And only when in 1994 the Russian peacekeeping troops entered the territory of Karabakh, the hostilities ceased.
But the conflict has remained unresolved to this day. The world countries, observing this, do not intervene, considering peace negotiations the only way out of the situation.
Modern solutions to the problem
The Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict is far from resolved at the moment. The territory of Nagorno-Karabakh is still officially owned by Azerbaijan, and they extort official and legal citizenship from the Armenians, otherwise they demand to leave the country. A few months ago, an Armenian soldier died in the confrontation zone. This caused a conflict with renewed vigor. Skirmishes between the troops are sometimes ignited.
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan announced that he will support the solution of this problem only through negotiations. If Azerbaijan provokes military operations, they will go far beyond the borders of the territory of such a state as Nagorno-Karabakh. A conflict of this magnitude cannot be tolerated, according to Sargsyan, since this will entail enormous human sacrifice. But the Azerbaijani government categorically refuses to negotiate and insists on a military solution to the problem.
The fact is that the heads of state do not want to make concessions to each other. Each defends his opinion, not even listening to his opponent. Armenia claims that the inhabitants of Nagorno-Karabakh must decide for themselves which state to join. Azerbaijan, in turn, does not give up on the idea of officially securing the territory for itself, and resettling the residents who fled from there. World analysts panic and demand the intervention of other states, since soon the battlefield will dictate the situation.
