- And where it leaves war-torn Nagorno-Karabakh.

Nagorno-Karabakh is a mountainous area in the Caucasus region between Europe and Asia. For more than 30 years, it's been locked in a conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The fight between the two countries began in the early 20th century but became a frozen conflict for 60 years while the whole region was under the control of the Soviet Union.
When the Soviet Union fell, newfound independence sparked a brutal six-year war in the region, where Armenia emerged victorious. From 1994 to 2020, Armenia controlled Nagorno-Karabakh, while Azerbaijan rebuilt its military. Fighting erupted again in summer 2020, and Azerbaijan went on the offensive - eventually capturing most of Nagorno-Karabakh and dramatically reshaping the region.

Actually Azeris are mostly irreligious. Azerbaijan is one of the most irreligious countries by percentage and the state is officially secular from the beginning.

Oftentimes when the Soviet Union drew up borders for its territories, it would intentionally disregard the pre-existing ethnic boundaries within countries. This was done by Stalin as a sort of fail-safe to ensure that if the Soviet Union did fall, Russia's neighbors wouldn't be able to prosper. This can be seen not only in Nagorno-Karabakh, but also in Abkhazia and South Ossetia in modern-day Georgia, Transnistria in Moldova, and the numerous exclaves in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan.
I dont think Stalin planned for the fall of his Empire. I think the borders were drawn up not respecting ethnic boundaries as to counter against Nationalism.
@@JN-wr9he The territory is historically Armenian, the churches there date back millenia, that doesn't excuse Armenians cleansing Azeri after the first war, nor Azeri cleansing Armenians after this round, they're neighbours forever, and need to reach some kind of permanant settlement.
You forgot to mention that Stalin's and Lenin's the biggest effort was to disolve Russia itself, that results now in Russian-Ukrainian war and will result in border conflicts with Belorussia and Kazahstan where the majority of russians lives. That was done according to the proverb "divide and rule" in order to simplisize the conrol. Decades of wars will pass untill boundries settle down. It's also ironic that Georgia-birthplace of Stalin is at Civil war because of him and other bolshevics.
@@sarfaraz.hosseini The government of the Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan was slowly strangling the life out of Armenians who lived in Karabakh (Artzakh) and Nakhichevan; meanwhile, Baku was sending in Turkic Populations (eg Meshketian Turks), who received the financial aide that was supposed to go to Armenians.
For a long time, Baku, Azerbaijan was committing the crime of ethnic cleansing, before the Karabakh War even started. That's why there aren't any Armenians in Nakhichevan now. And, it didn't help that violent pogroms ejected Armenians from places like Baku, Sumgait, and Kirovabad (Ganja).

@Menforfree we will never recognize an unproven genocide that your government refused to investigate. There’s no evidence of “genocide”. Recognize the 800,000 Turks who were eliminated by Dashank and Hunchak armenians invading eastern Anatolia.... and also recognize the genocide of Khojaly... do that and then we will think about normalizing relations.

I hope Azerbaijan and Armenia will find a common way to coexist. Our struggles is new it started after Russia arrived to our region. Before that we have had good relations. In terms of 1915 affairs, I want both governments to open archives and let the scientists and investigators to research the topic. I am Azerbaijani -originally Kipchak from Armenia (my ancestors were orthodox christian Kipchaks) , want to see my home country Azerbaijan and homeland of my ancestors Armenia to live in peace.
Peace on you and may the suffered innocent people from both parties to rest in peace.
Hi mister, to let you know the Armenia will never open their archives and Erdogan called to wolrd to put at end on the table 3 times and they'Ill accept if it was a genocide. But Armenia is still refusing, If Armenia has the truth why are there runing away.?
Plus in Tr or Az they have many Armenians peoples living there but in Armenia i don't think as the turks can live there for their hate on them, otherwise i prefer the people live in peace and no war.
@@blackeagle958 bro whatever Erdogan or other says is different than action. This problems should be solved in mutual communication.
I personally dont like Erdogan as a politician. But the problem of opening archives, I think, originated from the fears of Russia since they dont want to lose their last destination in Caucasus. Actually Russian imperialism is the reason of all these problems between Armenian and Turkic people.
Hope we can find a way to live in peace. But first we must start to communicate, to understand each other, ignoring racists from both countries. Whatever we do, that doesnt change the reality that we are Neighbours. We are destined to live together. I prefer peace over war.

Drone
And war crimes
Oh and the fact that no one knows who started it.
It was clearly azerbijan who started it. I mean, people were living peacfully in the homes in karabagh, while azerbaijan givernment were olanning the attack for a long time, to get those regions that was “theirs”. But their are not. Read the history of armenia and karabagh/artsakh))

there is subtle doctoring in the picture by VOX. just one detail: President Aliyev on 5:06 min says Karabakh - its Nagorno (mountainous part - russian langugae) and also its lowlands has belonged to Azerbaijan and is part of Azerbaijan. But the subtitles- the translation just says "Karabakh is Azerbaijan" as Aliyev saying. There is a big difference. Karabakh as a whole is a (geographic name) toponym developed not 100 or 200 years ago, But Karabakh as a region of Azerbaijan has been there for several hundred years. Nagorno is only mountainous part of it. So Mountainous Karabakh cannot be a historic land of Armenians as a toponym, which is why Armenians invented a new term Artsakh (instead Nagorno-Karabakh) unknown in any of the world maps of the last several hundred years. In order artificially to solve this problem, now, in recent one or two years, they they have come up with a new term - "lowland Artsakh" to denote the areas outside Nagorno Karabakh, which they had occupied 30 years ago. These 7 districts outside N.K. , purely Azerbaijani towns where 99 percent of the population were Azeris. Armenians then drove 700 thousand people from those towns. So until channels like VOX will not give the whole truth, it will be hard to make peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

I had been confused about the conflict earlier on this year when it was happening, and this video was the most effective at explaining it. Vox is an incredible outlet
Yeah this helped me understand the conflict better than other new channels.
@Robust Misconcepiton I think his video is very boring and I click away within minutes especially the sponsor.
It is not the best source
1)It not the area between 2 countries. Nagorno Karabakh is within Azerbaijan and surrounded by other Azerbaijani regions.
2)It doesn't belong to others than Azerbaijanis. Armenians have been settled there only 200 years ago, while Azerbaijanis were and are always there!
Too bad it didn't mention Armenians expeling women from their villages in wet clothes
this video is understandable, but that does not mean that it is true. the “Azerbaijani view” of the conflict is exclusively highlighted, not a single argument in defense of the Armenians. (although according to all the laws of history and justice, the truth is on their side)
2022 and it's happening again

You are in the right mindset. Karabakh was the land of Azerbaijan. Armenians can claim the opposite, but it is illogical to believe in a nation that tried to take land from the Ottomans in 1900-1915 and raised rebellions for it.

Although not the first to use drones, one can say that the Turk's have changed the way modern warfare will be fought for a very long time. In Syria, Libya and Karabakh Turkish drones dominated the skies and destroyed pretty much anything that tried to fight back.

Armenians have been occupying Azerbaijani territories for 30 years. He settled there. Azerbaijan demanded its rights and liberated Karabakh from occupation. Armenians bombed non-war cities. Children, the elderly, mothers, fathers died. The children were orphaned. Families were left childless. But you did not show any of them in the shared video. Armenian lobbies say that Karabakh belongs to Armenians and convince the world of this lie. The world does not want to see the truth. Karabakh belongs to Azerbaijan !
Very good information

It is so funny how outsiders see these people are simpletons, but their conflicts are so complex and not so cut and dry.
People outside have their own a lots of complicated problems, and can't afford another complicated problems.
It's the simpletons that view the world in those cut and dried terms, not putting any effort into actually learning about the world , countries and cultures.
@Christhian Mejia Noriega, as far as conflicts go this one was more cut and dry than usual.
One nation illegally occupying their neighbor's lands after massacring and ethnically cleansing half a million civilians in the 1990s.
30 years later that nation comes back and pushes these illegal militia groups off it's land and returns the relatives of those who were massacred off their land.

It is notable to mention that this is only the second time a nation surrendered after WW2. Surrender requires total dominance, and this means that the military gap between the nations is getting wider. This gap of militaristic power is getting wider in many parts of the world. This may sadly mean more atrocious battles in the future.
A big and shameful one after world war 2 was Pakistan army surrendering to
India- Bangladesh (mukti bahini) joint forces.
93000 pak army shamelessly surrendered in 1971 after a heinous genocide of 3 million bengali ethnic population.
@@peace163 wasn't the genocide committed by Pakistan? So how is it shameful that they surrendered? Didnt it stop the genocide so it should be seen as a good thing? ( not the genocide, the surrendering)
True, keep in mind the war did last only 44 days. Normally you need to fight 6 years to reach this kind of ending. Armenia did not have an weak army.
