tense date
The history of this tension in this geopolitically important region in the South Caucasus dates back to the beginning of the thaw of the Cold War, and the independence of the former Soviet Union countries, and their taking the form of nation-states, which blew up the situation between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the two enemy neighbors, and even before the fall of the red flag with a red flag. Scythe and hammer from the roof of the Duma in Moscow.
In 1988, the demands of the ruling authorities in the Nagorno-Karabakh region began to be part of Soviet Armenia, at a time when this region was self-governing by decision of Stalin, at a time when the region was administratively subordinate to the Soviet Azerbaijani authorities.
The snowball of this conflict began to swell and grow since that date of the claim, up to the war between Baku and the Armenian separatists backed by Yerevan, which ended with a ceasefire in 1994, after the Armenian separatists took control of most of the territory, which seems to have left a wound that did not heal when Azeris.
This round of war ended, as did the round that followed in the year 2020, to a ceasefire agreement called the “Minsk Agreement”, which was mediated by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, despite the intermittent clashes that had occurred between the two parties for 26 years, which is the age of the “Minsk Agreement”.

By putting pressure on all parties, and reaching a ceasefire in the November 2020 agreement.
A second round in which Baku won, with Ankara behind it with all its military arsenal and modern technologies that have proven its efficiency, while Al-Ain is heading towards the Azeri coasts, where gas and oil are two weapons that the Russian war on Ukraine proved to be important in consolidating any policy on the European “other” who refused to join Turkey to the European forum.
