The Armenia and Azerbaijan war, explained
And where it leaves war-torn Nagorno-Karabakh.

Nagorno-Karabakh is a mountainous area in the Caucasus region between Europe and Asia. For more than 30 years, it’s been locked in a conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The fight between the two countries began in the early 20th century but became a frozen conflict for 60 years while the whole region was under the control of the Soviet Union.
When the Soviet Union fell, newfound independence sparked a brutal six-year war in the region, where Armenia emerged victorious. From 1994 to 2020, Armenia controlled Nagorno-Karabakh, while Azerbaijan rebuilt its military. Fighting erupted again in summer 2020, and Azerbaijan went on the offensive — eventually capturing most of Nagorno-Karabakh and dramatically reshaping the region.

if you test the dna of Armenians and Azeris you could've found them very similar, yet they fight each other and hate each other. Learn from Europe folks.

The Only explanation is : TURKIYE… The war was very just, because of Armenia invade Azerbaijan with Russa's force… Actually Turkiye won Russia in Karabagh…

Facts here. For International law and United Nations, Qarabağ ( Karabakh ) is Azerbaijan lands and occupied by ter or ist armenians in 1990. In 1992 armenian ter or ists and russian post soviet army did genocide Khocaly against civil Azerbaijani people. In 2020 Azerbaijan stop negotation with ter or ists and start anti-ter or ists operation after armenians last attack to Azerbaijan during September 2020. Azerbaijan Special forcd and Army gain back independece of occupied lands, during this time armenian te ror ists bombed civil regions and cities in rest of the Azerbaijan to stop the operations. Now lets think who is ter or ists? Somene defend his legal lands and do military operations against ter orists and it's supporters or which 2 country military that comes with guns that this lands is not their even?
And edit for who edit the video and share, Azerbaijan did military operation in its occpied lands that recognize by International law as Azerbaijan as said in the video. So we announce to ter or ist groups that we will do anti-ter or ist operations, we disnt bomb any place out of battlefield. But armenian te ror ists goverment bombed rest of the Azerbaijan.

Trump acaba de conseguir un acuerdo de paz definitivo. Ha acabado con el enfrentamiento entre Irán e Israel también. Ahora va a intentar un tratado entre Rusia y Ucrania.

azerbaijan is turkey. They just pretend to be Albany (old kingdom that used to live there) that’s their whole story. Go there and check their books and maps. It’s one big comedy

We occupied 7 regions of aerbaijan just so we could protect our people in nagorny karabah and we pulled back because Russia insisted and at the end Russians betrayed as….

Armenia was always there and azerbaijan exists 100 years. It’s called Armenian highland.

It has been four years. Russian peace keepers have left the territory and Azerbaijan has got the whole control over the territory as it has to be according to international rules. Finally, the two nations have a chance to end this rivalry.

I am Armenian and this hurts to see our old country being fought and torn apart by Turks and Azerbaijanis. But I hope the best for the Turks and Azerbaijanis and hope they come to peace with Armenia which is very unlikely. Life isn’t fair but I hope this stops. Please pray❤
