Why are Armenia and Azerbaijan fighting? #NagornoKarabakh #ArmeniaAzerbaijan #SouthCaucasus #news

Armenia and Azerbaijan, located in the South Caucasus region between Europe and Asia, have been locked in a decades-long dispute over the mountainous region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but home to a majority Armenian population, the area became a flashpoint after the Soviet Union assigned it to Azerbaijan. Ethnic clashes erupted in the late 1980s, leading to the First Nagorno-Karabakh War (1988–94) which claimed over 30,000 lives. A Russia-brokered ceasefire followed, but tensions never truly ended. In 2020, with Turkish support, Azerbaijan regained some territory, and in 2023, it captured the entire region, causing a mass exodus of Armenians. Turkey backs Azerbaijan due to shared cultural and ethnic ties, while Russia supports Armenia through military bases and security agreements. India also provides defense support to Armenia to counter the Turkey–Pakistan–Azerbaijan bloc.
