Armenia | One Year after the War

In October and November 2020, Armenia and Azerbaijan went to war over Nagorno-Karabakh - a region more usually known in Armenia as Artsakh. After 44 days, Russia brokered a ceasefire that brought an end to fighting; but not before Azerbaijani forces had managed to retake a large amount of territory that had previously been under Armenian control. So, one year after the war, how do people in Armenia view the conflict? And where do they see things going in future?

As the Soviet Union collapsed, the predominantly Armenian-inhabited territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, an autonomous province of Azerbaijan, declared independence. This in turn led to a bitter war between Armenia and Azerbaijan that saw Armenian troops take control of almost 15 percent of Azerbaijan's territory. In the years that followed, unsuccessful efforts were made to broker a settlement between to two countries. As a result, the dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh came to be seen as a 'frozen conflict'. However, in reality it was anything but frozen. Many observers expected a new war to emerge as Azerbaijan increased its military spending. In the end, full-scale fighting broke out in late-2020. Over the course of six weeks, Azerbaijani forces, acting with support from Turkey and Israel, retook large parts of the Armenian-held territory before Russia stepped in and brokered a ceasefire between the sides and placed Russian peacekeepers in Nagorno-Karabakh. By all accounts, the war was a major defeat for Armenia. But one year on from the conflict, how do people in Armenia view the situation. This video, which was filmed in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, takes a look at the conflict and its aftermath.
