Nagorno-Karabakh: The War Between Armenia and Azerbaijan Explained | From the Frontline

Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought multiple wars against each other over Nagorno-Karabakh.

This is a region that sits between the two countries and has a majority Ethnic Armenian population but is internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan.

Geopolitical powers are split over whom to support as Russia, Iran, Turkey, Israel, India, China and the US pick their favourite sides.

Meanwhile, Azerbaijan has launched a military operation in Nagorno-Karabakh as Armenia and its Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan have called it an act of ethnic cleansing.

Will there be peace in Nagorno-Karabakh or will Armenia and Azerbaijan remain in a state of war? Comment and tell us your thoughts.

[zaland]

Isn't it crazy that Israel supports a Muslim country and Iran supports a Christian country. It is clear that everyone country is after their own interest.

[dilara]

Russia has always supported Armenia. without Russia, Armenia would never have been able to win a country that is three times larger in both area and population than itself. Russia itself conducted military operations on the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh and destroyed the Azerbaijani population, as a result, 1 million refugees were expelled from Karabakh and from seven adjacent regions

[-GLOBALCITIZEN]

Complex diplomatic relations would be an understatement…

[campbub]

what a geopolitical nightmare 😞
ugh… praying for those who have to suffer for this 🙏🏻

Why was the world silent when Azerbaijanis were expelled from their land by the Armenian side in 1991?

[mucahitsengul]

In 1993 Armenia with the help of Soviet Army invaded 1/3 Azerbaijan killed 30 thousands of them and drove away 1 million Azeris intı the eastern part of the country
You did not mention that

You reap what you sow

[ravipeiris]

Most interesting that various countries find themselves in opposite ends of the spectrum.

[Russ-exso]

Russia is neutral Turkey and Israel support Azerbaijan militarily. Indias, Chinas and Irans support for Armenia is irelevent at this points since the other side has clearly won. End of conversation.

[georgewilbert]

Russia was Armenia's biggest supporter since the USSR dissolved. Only recently has it been "neutral". I would more say that its in a tactical alliance with Baku while still trying to remain on good enough terms with Yerevan that it doesnt completely lose the ability for its intelligence services to freely operate in Armenia and monitor a NATO member, and somewhat of a regional rival, in Turkey

Im not sure thats neutral though, a neutral member would not have let its peacekeepers be overrun and discarded like that without a response. No sanctions or even condemnation. No blocking of Russian arms sales. Not even harsh words when the UN security council convened lol to me thats not a neutral player at all

I actually think the US has been a more neutral player, with France taking the side of Armenia more. US has intelligence deals with Azerbaijan and has supported them militarily. While also supporting Armenia in various ways, including condemning Azerbaijan for restarting the offensive.

[DipakBose-bqvv]

Friendship with the USA is fatal. Armenia recently switched from being a Russian to an American ally and declared that Putin can be arrested if he would come to Armenia. Americans already have their army in Armenia, but they never moved their fingers to protect Armenia.

South china sea
Kashmir
Crimea
Nargorno-karabakh
West Bank
Similar examples of modern disputes causing unnecessary skirmishes

[ba]

According to this, US, Russia, China, India (and Iran) support Armenia. But Armenians badly lost😂😂😂😂

[hichic]

Pashinyan is literally dancing to western music and has practically distanced Armenia from Iran and Russia.
It is not difficult to guess what the rest of the story will be.

[CrackaPackify]

I've no dog in this fight but it seems a bit rich for Armenia to be like "fuck you, stay out of our business" to the UN when they and Artsakh occupied a whole heap of Azerbaijan for 30 years and then "p-pls daddy UN help" when they start getting pounded by a significantly more powerful army.

[D]

Armenia never claimed NK independent neither they reunited NK with Armenia like Crimea/Russia!
As a result Russia had no duty to support Armenia in this war! Armenia agreed confirmed in 2022 NK is part of Azeri with Europeans without Russia!

[CyberLx]

Double standards of the world in the fight.

[CreepyCurry]

It’s belongs to AZERBAIJAN 🇦🇿
we support our brother from Pakistan 🇵🇰

[lamartinezola]

people of the world(Africa, South America, Asia, and Russia)! we have to learn to solve our own problems. Our evil enemy is there waiting for us to make mistakes so he can interfere and take advantage of our mineral resources.

[panwitt]

this is an amazing short explanation of this conflict, especially for those seeing war footage and do not know who is who, or what is being fought for. thank you
