Nagorno-Karabakh-conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan explained

The Nagorno-Karabakh-conflict involving Armenia, the unrecognised Republic of Artsakh and Azerbaijan has been described as one of many frozen conflicts worldwide. However, the latest developments of 2020 have demonstrated that the ice seemed to have melted. In truth, the conflict was heading into the direction of escalation since at least 2016, as the ongoing peace process has yielded little to no results. This video is a simplified summary and analysis of what is going on in this conflict: How did it start? What is it about? And who is involved? We are taking a look at the conflicts historic development since 1918, explore the value of Karabakh to the Armenian and Azerbaijani people and also touch upon the involvement of the most prominent regional powers in this conflict: Turkey, Russia and Iran.
