It should be remembered that the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia for the ownership of the disputed territory of “Nigorno-Karabakh” has been going on for decades and two wars have also taken place between the two countries, in which both sides have suffered massive casualties.
On November 10, 2020, the Armenian army surrendered to the Azerbaijani army with the mediation of Russia. More than 500 people were killed and more than 6,000 were injured in this war that lasted for a few months.
Nagorno-Karabakh is internationally recognized as a territory of Azerbaijan, but it is inhabited by a majority of Armenians who are fighting for an independent and independent region, which is also supported by Russia.
