Azeri-Armenian conflict:
The whole conflict has arisen because of the disputedregion, Nagorno-Karabakh. The region is internationally recognized as part ofAzerbaijan but controlled by ethnic Armenians.
NagornoKarabakh seceded in the years of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Armenia andAzerbaijan were part of the communist state, which tried to suppress ethnic andreligious differences.
Theconflict in the Caucasus Mountains has remained unresolved for more than threedecades, with periodic fighting. Border clashes in July killed at least 16people, sparking the largest demonstration in years in the Azerbaijani capital,Baku, calling for the region to be recaptured.
