Armenia-Azerbaijan Conflict Claims 200 Lives: Understanding the Nagorno-Karabakh Dispute

Azerbaijan has claimed victory in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict after Armenian separatists agreed to a ceasefire. The conflict between the two nations has resulted in 200 deaths. Nagorno-Karabakh, also known as Artsakh, is a mountainous region in the southern Caucasus Mountains. It is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but its population is predominantly ethnic Armenian. The conflict between Armenians and Azerbaijanis dates back more than a century. The conflict lasted from 1988 to 1994 and resulted in the deaths of around 30,000 people. In 2020, Azerbaijan launched a military offensive, sparking the Second Karabakh War. Azerbaijan secured a decisive victory in 44 days, regaining control of the surrounding districts and about one-third of Nagorno-Karabakh. Peace finally prevailed in the region through a Russia-brokered ceasefire agreement. On September 19, 2023, Azerbaijan launched another military operation in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, resulting in a ceasefire agreement.
