2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war on the map-Every day

The disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, with its ethnic Armenian majority, is a de jure part of Azerbaijan, but is de facto held by the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh, which is supported by Armenia On 20 February 1988, the Soviet of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast passed a resolution requesting transfer of the oblast from the Azerbaijan SSR to the Armenia SSR; Azerbaijan rejected the request several times Ethnic violence began shortly thereafter with a series of pogroms between 1988 and 1990 against Armenians in Sumgait, Ganja and Baku, and against Azerbaijanis in Gugark and Stepanakert. Following the revocation of Nagorno-Karabakh's autonomous status, a referendum was held in the region on 10 December 1991. The referendum was boycotted by the Azerbaijani population, which then constituted around 22.8% of the region's population; 99.8% of participants voted in favor. Following the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991, the region descended into outright war. The Nagorno-Karabakh War resulted in the displacement of 750,000 Azerbaijanis and 353,000 Armenians from both Azerbaijan and Armenia. The war ended with a ceasefire in 1994, with the Republic of Artsakh in control of most of the Nagorno-Karabakh region, as well as occupying the surrounding Azerbaijani districts of Agdam, Jabrayil, Fuzuli, Kalbajar, Qubadli, Lachin and Zangilan. For three decades, multiple violations of the ceasefire have occurred, the most serious incidents prior to the current conflict being the 2016 Nagorno-Karabakh clashes. Long-standing international mediation attempts to create a peace process were initiated by the OSCE Minsk Group in 1994, with the interrupted Madrid Principles being the most recent iteration. While it is unclear how the present inhabitants of the area want to administer the territory, surveys indicate that they do not want to be part of Azerbaijan. In August 2019, in an unprecedented declaration in favour of unification, the Armenian prime minister, Nikol Pashinyan, visited Nagorno-Karabakh, stating, "Artsakh is Armenia, full stop". Skirmishes occurred on the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan in July 2020. Thousands of Azerbaijanis demonstrated for war against Armenia in response, with Turkey propagandising in support of Azerbaijan. On 29 July 2020, Azerbaijan conducted a series of military exercises that lasted from 29 July to 10 August 2020, and further exercises in early September with the involvement of Turkey. Azerbaijan and Turkey are bound by ethnic, cultural and historic ties, and refer to their relationship as being one between "two states, one nation"; Turkey (then the Ottoman Empire) helped Azerbaijan gain its independence from the Russian Empire back in 1918, and became the first country to recognize Azerbaijan's independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Turkey is also the guarantor of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic since 1921, which is an exclave of Azerbaijan. Despite that, others have seen Turkey's support for Azerbaijan as connected to its expansionist foreign policy,[unreliable source?] linking its intervention and neo-Ottoman policies in Syria, Iraq, and the Eastern Mediterranean. Turkey's high visibility role in the conflict and its support to Azerbaijan has been perceived by Armenians as a continuation of the Armenian Genocide where 1.5 million Armenians were systematically mass murdered and expelled by the Ottoman Empire, especially given Turkey's denial of the Genocide. Prior to the resumption of hostilities, allegations emerged that hundreds of Syrian National Army members from the Hamza Division were transferred to Azerbaijan. The government of Azerbaijan has denied involvement by foreign fighters. The United Nations Security Council adopted four resolutions in 1993, calling for the withdrawal of "occupying forces" from the territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, and the United Nations General Assembly adopted one resolution in 2008, demanding the immediate, complete and unconditional withdrawal of Armenian occupying forces. The co-chairs of OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and USA have all voted against it. Frame: 140 Music: Machinimasound-Escape from the temple Ross Bugden - Rapture Thanks for watching !
