What is known about the conflict between countriesRecall that the United States, Russia and France have long been trying to reach an agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan to end the conflict around the disputed territory of Nagorny Karabakh.
These countries have repeatedly conducted fighting, resulting in more than 30,000 people in the war in the early 1990s after the collapse of the USSR. And in 2020, about 6,000 people in the 44-day war between countries were killed. Dozens of people also died in border fights in September 2022.
“This territory is inhabited by Armenians, but is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan. Russian President Vladimir Putin was a mediator in the armistice to stop the war of 2020, but the parties did not reach the final peace agreement. The state department for former President Joe Baiden was a mediator in the peace. Exclude claims on Nagorny Karabakh, “Bloomberg recalled.
It is also known that the Russian Federation sent 2,000 peacekeepers to Nagorny Karabakh within the armistice in 2020, but the troops did not intervene when Azerbaijan took full control of the territory in 2022. Therefore, Russian peacekeepers were bred last year after the Armenian population escaped.
