The Resolution of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Conflict: Nagorno-Karabakh's Fate Revealed

The fight for Nagorno-Karabakh appears to be over as the separatist statelet, which had enjoyed de facto independence for over three decades, ceased to exist. Tens of thousands of ethnic Armenians have been forced to flee the region, leaving behind dire conditions and shortages of essential supplies. While Azerbaijan celebrates the end of separatism, many Armenians remain skeptical of Baku's promises. The conflict's resolution was influenced by factors such as demographic shifts, military weaknesses, and the involvement of Russia and Turkey. The economies of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh were deemed too weak and corrupt to support the military effort.
