It’s one of the world’s oldest conflicts.
So why are they still fighting?
And why are other countries getting involved?

Whoever cut the land up like that was very aware that this would happen.
Yes, imagine Chicago under Mexican control. Who will accept that.
@@bashiirnur no one
Stalin did it he was the one who did it
It's because of the Soviet Bolsheviks, who wanted oil and also good diplomacy with Turkey to involve Turkey in Soviet Union. So they said just, there's no difference, we are one Union country and let the Armenian land, the Karabakh be in Azerbaijani territory. But always, in all times, more than 80% of population of Karabakh were Armenians. And the Karabakh was independent earlier than most of the Soviet Union countries. Azerbaijan left the Soviet Union without Karabakh. Even the ex president of Azerbaijan accepted that fact, he announced that the Karabakh was not a part of Azerbaijan, that they had left Azerbaijan without Karabakh.
Jewish Zionist Freemasons used evil Stalin's puppet Russia to persecute the Christian Armenians.
In every conflict, those who started the agression will always talk about "casualties on both sides"
You mean the Armenians?
since when the city Ganja was the border city?
ikr, that is prove that armenia is a terrorist country which aims to destroy civilians

You know when the United States and Russia are cooperating on this for peace that this needs to get solved.
Why dont Russia also stop selling them the weapons? Why keep blaming just Turkey alone. Turkey just come and help the victim as the UN just talks but no action.
They never want a war to be done unless its upon themselves..because they sell weapons

And Arsakh is an historical Armenian land. There are so many proofs, I can't understand the discussion around Karabakh. The historical monuments and Armenian churches from 4th century can tall you a lot.
Because there is no a single country more or less powerful that has not conquered this region: Mongols, Russia, Ottomans, Persia. It was a land for both Azeris and Armens. You cannot claim the land purely because of some historical identity with it and disrespects the sovereignty of modern-day states.
@@sonne167 No there is also majority demography for 15 centuries 1823: 90% Armenian, 1923:94% Armenian, 1988:78% Armenian, Today: 95% Armenian.
There are many historical mosques in many christian countries. If you really think you have past outside of your country, respect international law and visits these lands as a tourist. International law doesn't give you any right to invade countries with stupid pre-historic claims.
@@msgmehmet yeah right and so about Kosovo you were saying?
Albanians didn't invade there bec Albanian population is leaving. And they found their solution somehow. No tension there. The invading part is a problem mate.

While that may be true it is occupying land outside of Nagorno Karabakh that has always been Azeri and that land must be returned.

Did the strangers enter the house or you build your house and property around their already existing house..?
Nagorno Karabakh is Azerbaijan period And it should be returned back to Azerbaijan in full.
UN is just a useless playground where you can throw your speeches. Big powers never do anything. Unless it concerns them. Such as Eastern Germany reunification with Western Germany.
But when it comes to matter if , Palestine, Kashmir and others it falls upon deaf ears.
If something was suppose to be complicated it was Germany and Hitler. But even they got their country back.
UN is a laughing stock.
Well ain't it stupid to say a chunk of land in the middle of the country next to you belongs to you. It's like my neighbour say oh by the way your living room really belongs to me. Get real.
Think a lot of ppl here didn't listen to the presentation. When was that referendum? How did the vote go? Sadly, as in so many complicated conflicts over land and borders. Might will, ultimately, be right. Better to talk. Nobody dies from, excessive, conversation.

@@arpinevardanyan1418 Dont deny facts
@@arpinevardanyan1418 You should look this up yourself....See resolutions 822, 853, 874, and 884. They are not hard to read.
@@eratosthenes5310 So the laws of USSR are. First check out how and by whom an Armenian land was given to Azerbaijani SSR (however it was an autonomous region even there by the way), and look up how it gained independense as part of USSR, and then how it became independent rebuplic in 1991.
Artsakh/ NKR has never been a part of Azerbaijani Republic neither legally nor historically.
Artsakh (Karabakh) is an integral part of historic Armenia. During the Urartian era (9-6th cc. B.C.) Artsakh was known as Urtekhe-Urtekhini. As a part of Armenia Artsakh is mentioned in the works of Strabo, Pliny the Elder, Claudius Ptolemy, Plutarch, Dio Cassius, and other ancient authors. The evident testimony of it is the remained rich historic-cultural heritage
Immediately after the establishment of the Soviet regime in Armenia, on November 30, 1920, the Azerbaijan Revcom (Revolutionary Committee - the main Bolshevik instrument of power at that time) made a declaration recognizing territories over which Azerbaijan had claims - Nagorno Karabakh, Zangezour, and Nakhijevan, as inseparable parts of Armenia.
The National Council of Azerbaijan SSR, on the basis of the agreement between the Azerbaijan Revcom and the governments of Azerbaijan SSR and Armenian SSR, the Declaration of June 12, 1921, proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh an integral part of the Armenian SSR.
during Urartu period, Karabakh was part of Albania, which was in continuous war with Urartu.
So, is this why the administrative border division document dated July 4, 1921 says Karabakh STAYS within Azerbaijani SSSR, and this is why is was a part of Azerbaijani SSSR for around a hundred years? Does it also justify the ethnical cleansings and expelling of Azerbaijani civilians? Does it justify killing children of Ganja in the middle of the night for the sake of killing (there is nothing going on there, and the city is faar away from the conflict? One day psychologists will write dissertations about the mania of Armenians, who on a national level truly believe that 1000 years ago history allows them to do any crimes possible.
Urartu was not related to armenians anyway
That time Armenia wasn’t exist. Don’t make yourself tired. Yalla go sleep. 🇶🇦 🇦🇿
Another armenian with his armenian history . Seems like you guys make up history as you go
5:10 The reality of war. The open wound is absolutely saddening.
Who did that? Armenia. And it’s not even the war zone. It is far far away deep inside Azerbaijan - second big city.
5:00 Ganja is not a border city. It sits 100km away from the frontline, and is the second largest city in Azerbaijan.
Still a border city, it’s not even an hour away from the border!
Metropolitan area of ganja goes even closer
@@iskanderkhan5980 The border around Ganja is the earliest captured land by Azeri forces in the conflict. Azeri forces secured the city by taking hundreds of kilometers of enemy lands. Ganja was attacked on purpose.
Ganja both Historically and Geographically part of Easter region of the Armenia .!!!!!!🇦🇲 historical northeaster of Artsakh , Armenia!!!!!!!!!!
@@ninaskokan5777 You can't just take one city as an example. You know quick google can show you how many Azerbaijan displaced after Nagarno Karabakh war. Also why Armenia change so many the names of many Ancient Nagarno Karabakh City? Isn't it Armenian names or is it
Armenia is not fighting over Artsakh. It's Artsakh fighting over rejoining with Arrmenia. Long before Artsakh (Kharabakh) held a referendum over rejoining, as more than 90% of the population are Armenians here. Armenia supports Artsakh in security. Now as a matter of Artsakh people safely, the only resolution to this problem is recognition of Artsakh.
You are brainwashed
According to international norms, as well as the constitution and laws of USSR, during the collapse of the USSR, the people of Nagorno-Karabakh had all the rights to self-determination through free will, which they did. Therefore, Nagorno-Karabakh has never been part of the independent Azerbaijan. In other words, Nagorno Karabakh has nothing to do with the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
The Republic of Artsakh was founded by a free and fair referendum which had an 82.1% voter turnout, in which 99.8% of voters chose to create an independent state. The people of Artsakh hold that their independence is one of liberation from Azerbaijan, which had been occupying them for the last 70 years.
About whether it did have the right for self-determination. There is a very clear explanation within international law with regards to ethnic groups and self-determination.
Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO) was an autonomous region within the Azerbaijan SSR (and before you start, no, it was not "granted" to Azerbaijan in 1921, please open the document dated July 4 where it says "Remains within" not "Joined to") and had no secession (self determination) right under the 1977 USSR Constitution in contrast to the Azerbaijan SSR and the Armenian SSR along with the other 13 Soviet republics. As it was expressed by the Badinter Commission in its Opinions No 2 and 3, only those Yugoslav republics were entitled to exercise the right to secession who were granted such right under the SRFY Constitution. NKAO did not and could not exercise such right under the USSR’s Constitution and the 1991 Secession Law.
After the collapce of USSR, all former fifteen Soviet republics agreed to follow the uti possidetis juris principle, i.e. transforming their former administrative borders into the international boundaries. CIS Charter, Alma-Ata Declarations and other multilateral legal instruments signed between the former Soviet republics expressly confirmed this. Armenia signed and joined ALL these agreements w/a a single reservation. This means an express agreement to recognise Azerbaijan’s international boundaries within the former administrative borders of the Azerbaijan SSR including NKAO. Under the principle uti possidetis Nagorno-Karabakh is a part of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
About self-determination: under International Law ethnic groups are not allowed to external self-determination (secession) targeting the territorial integrity and international frontiers of sovereign states. The “remedial theory” which has a little support in International Law, it's not the Nagorno-Karabakh case either. NKAO was enjoying its right to internal self-determination in full, with the use of own language, culture, education in schools and universities in Armenian language, and 90% administration was in the hands of the local Armenians. No any single proven case of genocide or any other serious crimes ever took place on the territory of NKAO. During the war phase of 1992-1994 the international community witnessed and documented crimes against Azerbaijani ethnic civilians living in the region and the villages surrounding it committed by the Armenian military forces, resulting in around 1,000,000 refugees. The Khodjaly massacre is an evident case. There are many resources that can be easily googled on this, but just to warn the graphics may be disturbing.
I repeat, those people who support the hashtag payforArtsakh, or stopazerbaijaniaggression. Think before you say it. Almost thirty years of waiting to resolve this conflict peacefully. A lot of policies proposed to protect the civilians of Nagorno Karabakh who either want to stay in their homes but within Azerbaijan or leave. Refusal to respond with aggression to many acts of terrorism. A million refugees that have not seen their homes and cannot return. I am not even mentioning the nationalist 90s massacres. And then imagine that to be your country. Imagine your children under those ruins sleeping and never waking up. And think again.
You know, after the three unprovoked attacks on Ganja Azerbaijan has still not responded with a single bollistic rocket or a single soldier on the territory of Armenia. Since the news about Ganja appeared (for the third time during the last three weeks), I have seen a lot of Armenians in the comments applauding, calling to destroy all of the cities and kill all of Azerbaijani children to cause the civilian protests. A lot of disgraceful, heartless and nationalistic words. Armenian side has explicitly said that it was targeting “a military airport” in Ganja three weeks ago. As a result, people were killed and injured. During the last two attacks at civilian block houses, it suddenly denies its involvement, even though the type of rocket used zenith-S (Russian suplied to Armenia type of weapon) and the coordinates of its flight clearly show that which side has sent them. They also continue to target the hydroelectric power plant in the middle of Azerbaijan and the pipelines.

The setting seems more appropriate for discussing food recipes than a war.
Why you got any bright ideas? How should the setting be like? That's the only thing you can up with about this issue. The setting is what bothers you. People lost homes,lives,livelihoods, a conflict that can escalate in a big way by drawing in regional.powers and beyond,people starving , your bothered by the setting in the background.
Its not like there's rainbows and roses and flowers behind her, the setting is neutral , dosnt distract you from the main issue you should be paying attention too if this story interests you.
The setting is good and most importantly its acceptable and respectable ,its enough, it dosnt have to be over the top or decorative,plasted with images.
The setting is what he complaining about dear God some people.
It is never a good thing when people identify more with a nationality or ethnicity rather than simply human.
Because they will be treated as second class citizens, and much worse things. Have you not read history!
Absolutely true. I mean everybody identify, but these strong hatreds are terrible. And lets not forget that Russia is feeding these hatreds, I am pretty sure it is not only because of the locals. And Turkey is also involved now. They should live in peace but they really do not want to. They want war. :///
@eldim1313 I'd argue that "human" is absolutely an identity a person can have. That's nothing new. Nations, cultures, race and ethnicities are all fundamentally social constructs (that's not to say that those things are totally irrelevant). Humans vary little from one another in terms of our basic biology, and by extension, I'd argue we all share similar or even the exact same struggles and needs across the globe: food, shelter, socialization, health care, education, etc. But if you would like to focus on the actually divisions between humans, then it is worthwhile to understand the material realities of capitalism and imperialism.
Only Jesus Christ our God can bring us all together if we accept him!
☦️🙏🏼
People are not animals, people have culture.. and different groups of people have different, oftentimes clashing culture. No one I know identify themselves as a human, culture is a crucial part in one's identity and self image.
It's armania land
"Territory where people are killing each other... why are they fighting?" It is a homeland for those who live there for ages, for the others it is a territory. Why they are fighting? - When someone invades your home announcing its otherwise you will be killed, you have no choice but to fight to protect yourself and your home. That's how simple is that.
Yeah all about human hormons bro
What bullshit do you say? So, for a million refugees this is not a homeland? How does it work? Is it a homeland for ones and not others? It is a homeland, culture, and a legal part of Azerbaijan. So, the invader in this case if a nationalistic forces of Armenia who expelled the civilians.
its turnabout for Armenia.
@Ayka Ferro And how do you explain the thousands and hundreds of years old Armenian churches there, if that is your ancient homeland? They teach you lies, you have an artificially created country. You are disturbed by the Armenians, because as long as we exist, no one will believe your stolen lying cultures and histories. And always Artsakh has been the name of the area, you can see on any old map.
@Ayka Ferro There is also a 1600 year old church with Armenian writings and Armenian everything. Joke category is the lot of stupidity that has been used to brainwash. Albanian churches? : D: D Ermeniyye? only you have such a word. Others call us Armenian and we call ourselves Hay, because we are descendants of Hayk the Great, who killed the Assyrian King Bel in war for our freedom, read on it even on wikipedia if you don’t know about it. We have a very rich history, you can know this from the sources of many different old countries. Is the whole world lying about Armenians? Or is only your education lying to you? Armenia is also on the wall of Rome. Azerbaijan is an artificially created country like Ukraine and has been externally governed from the very beginning. All your heroes are about Armenians, teaching you to hate Armenians with cartoons and everything since you were a child. We were never taught to hate and would have been happy to live in peace with you, but you are not capable of it, just as the Turks were not. As long as there are Armenians, you can’t convince others of your illogical false histories, so you’ve always wanted to wipe us out.

Thanks to being truthful, you heard the lady official Azerbaijani grounds bro
Want to know the truth? The thing’s that this war don’t have a peaceful resolution, as Azerbaijan wants Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh without its ethnic civilians and churches, but locals will defend their homeland and families. And in case if you’re reading the comments like Armenian part is the aggressors, please once more have a look at 5:25 ... we’re not idiots to attack a country that’s richer and stronger than Armenia and moreover is partnering with ErdoGun! Can someone answer me why in historical azeri lands are Christian churches from 14th century? 🤦♀️ people please! Stop being brainwashed
In Spain, there are mosques too bro. So what?
Simple: Since 2 March 1992 Armenia is a member of the UN. Same as Azerbaijan. If you apply for a membership you have to declare the borders of your country. This means since 1992 Armenia has officially accepted the geographical region which defines Armenia these days. Same did Azerbaijan. The region "Nagorno-Karabakh" has _nothing_ to do with Armenia besides people of the same ethnic/religious group are living there.
E.g. you cannot state "China-Town" in New York belongs to China just because many people with Chinese roots are living there. They can live there and maybe they influence a bit the neighborhood which can be interesting for other cultures in the same country.
But you will _not see_ Chinese Army Forces "protecting" China-Town in New York. Because this region belongs to America.
Armenia is not under attack but the region Nagorno-Karabakh. And the people in this region seem to claim a special status.
If you state: "Nagorno-Karabakh is Armenia." Sorry no. Not since 1992. If you state that first cancel your membership at the UN, then somehow grab the land you see as yours (with whatever methods) , then apply for UN membership again.
Yes, you are not idiots to attack, because you as usuar relied on your big brother Russia who let you down this time unlike in 1992 war. Ans pls stop talking about luving peacefully in Garabag. For years you have lived in Azerbaijan. Nobody did you anything. Even now there are 20 k Armenians luving in Azerbaijan. There is Grigorian churr in the centre of Baku.
These churchrs are nit Armenian. They are Albanian churches. Stop falsifying the history. If you want to live as normal people wake up from your illusions
You can answer me why there is a mosque in the center of Yerevan. Do you know history? The city of Iravan is a historical city of Azerbaijan. Bloodless Armenians like you have no knowledge of history.
If someone attacked my ganja I would fight back, too.

thank you ma'am for making us understand about long-lasting conflicts within no time !
I believe they should have mentioned that the fighting and Armenia seizing control after the war in 1920 was a response to Azerbaijan comitting massive massacres such as the Susha massacre. Over 20.000 people were killed even though Armenians made out the majority of the Susha population. The pogoms and expulsion of Ethnic Armenians in the 1988 also create the need for Armenia to interact and protect civilians who are being massacred and expelled... I fin it a bit odd that so many massacres against Armenians have taken place, while massacres against AAzeris by Armenians are very few and usually in responses to major massacres against Armenians.
What do you think?

Поэтому Нагорный Карабах никогда не был частью независимого Азербайджана. Другими словами, Нагорный Карабах не имеет ничего общего с территориальной целостностью Азербайджана.

ARMENIA PROFILE
Azerbaijan Has No Legal Claim to Artsakh Because…
JULY 18, 2020 BY ADMINISTRATOR
By Len Wicks, he is an Australian-New Zealand genocide awareness activist and author.
Artsakh had been the homeland of indigenous Armenians for thousands of years before the Turkish invasion in the 11th century, and the arbitrary change of the Soviet Union’s provincial boundaries by the brutal Soviet Leader Stalin in 1921 to include the majority Armenian Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast within the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic (SSR);
the Azerbaijan SSR had only been a Soviet Union province, so Azerbaijan can’t claim to be the successor of a sovereign nation (note: ‘Successor States’ may not have the same border, like Tukey after the Ottoman Empire);
Soviet laws defining the Azerbaijan SSR and its federal provincial boundaries became null and void when the Soviet Union was dissolved by the Supreme Soviet on 26 September 1991, allowing the Azerbaijani declaration of independence on 30 August 1991 to become legally recognized by other nations, but there was no automatic sovereign rights to the entire territory of the defunct Azerbaijan SSR [province];
as a new nation, Azerbaijan couldn’t demonstrate key tests of sovereignty - control over people and Nagorno- Karabakh’s boundaries and the majority Armenian neighboring territory (now called Artsakh) since 1988;
both the majority-Muslim Kosovo and majority-Christian Nagorno-Karabakh independence referendums were approved by over 99% of voters (26 - 30 September 1991 and 10 December 1991 respectively); and
if Azerbaijan and Turkey recognize the principle of Kosovo’s right to declare independence in 2008 when the federal nation of Yugoslavia disintegrated, then the same principle must be applied to Artsakh when the federal Soviet Union fell apart.

Just here to remind that Karabakh is not a "Purely Armenian" zone. Armenia drove off 1 million Azeri residents from the region in 1992 to create that "purely Armenian" zone and now Azeris are taking what had belonged to them back.
the name karabag is turkish , Lol
false, 300,000 Armenians were forced out of Azerbaijan. And 700,000 Azerbaijanis were forced out of Armenia.
@@JoeRafinski This is an aftermath on the territory of the countries. But talking about Karabakh itself, the number of Azeri refugees is closer to one million, with several horrible massacres that included mutilations, such as Khojaly, which was the strategic point for the airport leading to Khankendi
the actual nkao that wants to reunite has always been armenian majority, while the occupied surrounding lands were mostly ethnically azeri. thats why to rule those regions long term is not really in their interest, nor is oil or whatever. it's the history of the region. there isnt a connection to surrounding areas as nkao because those have been azeri majoirty for 100 years . stepanekert was sieged and attacked at the beginning of the first war so they had to establish a buffer zone so to speak. and also to gain a negotiating leverage. and thats exactly what happened, in 2007 armenia was willing to give up those lands for artsakh recognition but azerbaijan refused.
somewhat understandably azerbaijan wants all of it.

There is no mention about Russia who backs up Armenia through 30 years of occupation.

None talks about it, but stress out purchased drones from Turkey and Israel.
It would be nice if both countries could find a way to live peacefully with each other. Germany and France were enemies for a very long time until both came to realize that cooperation and even friendship was much better for both sides despite all atrocities of the past. You're not supposed to forget but overcome old ways of thinking and trying to find common grounds.

Karabagh/ Karabakh is a Turkic-Iranian word meaning Black Garden
The name Karabakh may be Turkic, but the native name for the region is Artsakh. Karabakh only became the common term in the medieval era after Mongol occupation, before which it was also called Khachen, named after the Armenian noble family which ruled Artsakh.
The Republic of Artsakh was founded by a free and fair referendum which had an 82.1% voter turnout, in which 99.8% of voters chose to create an independent state. The people of Artsakh hold that their independence is one of liberation from Azerbaijan, which had been occupying them for the last 70 years.
It sounds so funny. So, before even Mongol's occupation settlements and naming is a justification for claiming the land or occupying it?
ALLAHUAKBAR! AZERBAIJAN TÜRKIYE ALLAHUAKBAR!🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿❤ 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
@@sonne167 you are funny, what part of Armenians living in that area for thousands of years you don't get? Even Azerbaijan itself admitted Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) as part of Armenia on 12 June 1921, before Stalin adopted his stupid policy of ''Divide and Rule''.
This loser keeps talking stuff like she knows something but guess what i know who you are
Great format. Bravo!!
Well explained!
the long story short: if you insist on occupying an contested territory without making any concession, make sure that you have the military muscle to back it up.
Terrible conclusion based upon a short summary with many loopholes.
Here's a more accurate long story short.
Russia, if you're going to hand a region with indigenous Armenians to Azerbaijan for oil, at least have the decency not to sell weapons to both sides.
The term "occupying" is inappropriate here. These "occupiers" are indigenous civilians that have been peacefully living in their ancestral lands. Armenians have lived there for centuries before there was any Turk in the region. It was only until 1918 when a state of Azerbaijan first formed, while Armenians were being subject to genocide by the collapsing Ottoman Empire.
@@armen9071 ancestral land does not have meaning in international law. by this logic, Russia is justified in intervening in Eastern Ukraine and annexing Crimea. In addition, Armenia was controlling not only Nagorno Karabakh but surrounding rayons, which were Azeri majority, and refused to withdraw from them for 30 years.
@@baristhealienated Agreed but those "occupied" territories are a buffer for security & for good reason. When a dictatorship becomes a democracy like Armenia and speaks softly about a peaceful solution acceptable by Armenians, Azerbaijanis & the indigenous people of Artsakh aka Nagorno-Karabagh, things will change. As long as Aliyev & his family run Azerbaijan into the ground for 30 years, a peaceful solution is implausible.
Recall 8 months ago both sides were asked by the internationally community about their role. Armenian's Prime Minister replied, prevent a military solution and find one suitable by Armenia, Azerbaijan & the indigenous population of Artsakh. Aliyev responded, Armenians must withdraw, no exceptions. This is the speech of a dictator who has no interest in compromise & a peace solution. You can find the meeting on UA-cam.
It's only a matter of time till all nations recognize the Republic of Artsakh. There is legal presidence for right to self-determination & sovereignty of an "indigenous people." It's already moving through European parliaments, South American parliaments.
@@AraBabayan-mk9cr dude you are talking as if Armenia has always been a democracy for the last 30 years. they made a coup detat to prevent a peace talk if you recall.
All I am saying is that if you are keen on creating and maintaining a buffer zone whether you are democracy or not, you gotta militarily be prepared.
Why are they fighting? Because the ghost of the Soviet Union still lingers in many places and continues to exert a negative influence on the people.
I think they should negotiate with the Armenians to leave karabakh without even fighting

2. You said Azerbaijan is provided drones by Turkey but not said it was purchased its free trading Armenia does it too from many countries
3. Azerbaijan does not involved mercenaries to battles. Not proofs are there. But many proofs about that Armenia does.
4. Not both of them Azerbaijan never done ethnic cleaning against any people during entire history. But armenia did many times. For ex 31.03.1918 and 26.02.1992 against Azerbaijanis
Anyway. Saying one word you just tried to show Armenia helpless weak and guiltless. Idk you are Al Jazeera or Ar Jazeeryan
And they call themselves a journalist. Aljazeera so called journalists need to dig in and find legal documentation, then maybe they can enlighten their blind eyes.
There is no information about the Khojaly genocide in the 10-minute video. Is not mentioned at all 😔

Turkish tribes belong to Mongolia. . Artsakh is ARMENIAN FOR OVER 4000 YEARS ...
@joebob they do not belong now because they have centuries now living there but the real truth is that Turkish tribes came from Mongolia and that's a fact. i support Armenia in this case because they suffered a lot from turks much respect to Armenia from Albania

Republic of Artsakh was given to Soviet Azerbaijan by Stalin himself, YES, GIVEN.
When the Soviet Union started to collapse, Armenians of Republic of Artsakh held a referendum to choose independence from SOVIET Azerbaijan (USING INTERNATIONAL LAWS) and they achieved it!!
Republic of Artsakh gained independence FROM SOVIET AZERBAIJAN, even BEFORE Republic of Azerbaijan gained independence from Soviet UNION.

Idiote. you have not even opened one history book according to your nonsense.
I love the way of how this lady and this video explain the topic. It really went through my head.
both heads
Our heads
I am russian and I don’t live in Armenia nor Azerbaijan therefore I am not bias. Here is a history who doesn’t know it.
The issues have been going on for centuries in Artsakh! And the history is very complicated.
Here is what we have...Artsakh aka Karabakh used to be part of great Armenia in 2nd century BC. Everyone wanted that territory back then: Persians, Turks and even Arabs were trying to concur it. Most population of the region are Armenians and some of them were forced to leave the area. Then in 1813 Frankfurt peace deal came in and Artsakh became part of Russian Empire but Armenians and Azerbaijans couldn’t get along in Artsakh region. Then in 1918, three countries declared independence and became Republics: Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Artsakh, as of its own region, didn’t want to be part of Azerbaijan but USSR Bolsheviks still gave Artsakh to Azerbaijan for whatever political reasons back then. For many years, people in Artsakh where protesting and expressing their wish to not be part of Azerbaijan; however, they were dismissed by Bolsheviks. Why? Because if they will agree to change their decision then it would look like that people are actually can be in control and therefore it will show weakness of the government and they didn’t want to set an example for other parts of USSR. However USSR crumbled anyways. First, Artsakh had referendum to get out of Azerbaijan. Then in 1991 across all USSR, a referendum was held and Artsakh performed a 2nd referendum and got out of USSR. 1991-1993 Artsakh war started between Republic of Azerbaijan and ethnic Armenians in Artsakh who were backed by Armenian Republic. Why? Because Azerbaijan didn’t agree with the referendum and till this day consider Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan. That conflict ended with a Peace agreement and technically Armenia won yet issues were still there. Then in April of 2016, clashes arise and issues started escalating again. As of for Turkey, Turkey traditionally and always supports Azerbaijan. Turkey hates armenian people. And during World War I, Ottoman Empire aka Turkey pretty much performed Armenia genocide! So what is Russia got to do with any of this?! Armenia and Russia are part of “Collective Security Treaty Organization” which means if Azerbaijan will attack Armenia then Russian have to get involved and protect Armenia BUT since Artsakh is not part of Armenia they cannot do that (and please mind Artsakh is not part of Azerbaijan either). Armenia is the one who can resolve this and they need to officially unify Armenia with Artsakh!
Now let’s talk about problems. One of the problems is that USA is sponsoring Azerbaijan military for many years ...why? Because Armenia is partnered with Russia, so USA must be on the other side...god forbid USA will help Russia or be on the same side if the war starts....but now war is happening and all this countries are indirectly involved....Russia who doesn’t want to go into the war, therefore acting very distant from this conflict, USA who is sponsoring Azerbaijan and being very silent at the moment, Turkey who is “fueling the fire” and haterade towards Armenian people...Canada already put sanctions against Turkey but that’s not enough...all these counties need to realize the issue and act on it!! It is a war! And we need to stop it!
So what's the base of information? You literally changed the history for yourself however you want. That "story" (not history) is not known by anyone, because it is not correct at all. Even the name of territory Nagorno Karabakh is a turkic word which "Kara" means great, and "bakh" is the name of tribe who lived there.
Very unbiased breakdown. Good job sir.
I know one thing for sure: you can't wanna a land without considering the will of the people living there and whether or not they want to be a part of your country. And starting a war against them and trying to take the land with force is immoral.
Say this same things to Serbian and say to them recognise Kosovo independence then Azerbaijan leave karabakh
Does your assertion apply to Azerbaijan's territories surrounding Nagorno Karabakh with 1 million people expelled from their land or to NK proper or to both of them?
Azerbaijan get back his land.
That's all
What do you think was the will of the hundreds of thousands of Azeris whom the Armenian forces forcibly displaced in 1992? Oh but I guess those civilians, who are now refugees, don't matter to you. Only the Armenians who have forcibly carved out land in the middle of another country.
@@Chasee445 I mean all refugees should have rights to go back and live there, sure. And choose their government. The question is do you wanna ask Armenians as well or expel them and repeat the exile back and forth.
Very informative

KEY HISTORICAL FACTS ABOUT ARTSAKH (NAGORNO-KARABAKH) AND NAKHIJEVAN
● Since the 1st Millennium B.C., Artsakh was one of the main territories of the Kingdom of Armenia and during many centuries it was one of its provinces. On the East, Armenia reached the Caspian Lake.
● 1804-1813։ Russian-Persian War. The Military actions in Transcaucasia, mainly in Artsakh between the Persian Empire and Russian Empire, ended in 1813 with the victory of Russia. On October 12, the Treaty of Gulistan was signed in Gulistan village of Artsakh, by which Persians renounced all the khanates (political entity ruled by a khan) north of the Araks River, including Karabakh khanate (except for Yerevan and Nakhchivan). The treaty was broken in 1826, when Persians violated the border and began war against Russia for the second time.
● 1826-1828: Russian-Persian War between the Persian Empire and Russia Empire in the eastern regions (gavars) of Historical Armenia. The war ended in 1828 with the victory of Russia, as a result of which Turkmenchay treaty was signed in Turkmenchay village of Northern Persia, by which Persia renounced Yerevan and Nakhchivan khanates in favour of Russia and gained the territories in the south of Araks river that had been occupied by Russians.
● 1914-1918: World War I. Armenians supported the Russian Army against Turkey, however, after the Russian revolution in October 1917, Russian military forces left the region to survive as Soviet State.
● 1918, May 28: Armenia and Azerbaijan declared independent republics. For the first time in the history, Azerbaijan appeared as an independent state.
● 1919 April-May: Nakhchivan was joined to The Republic of Armenia. However, soon, in July, with the support of Turkey and Azerbaijan local tatars (modern azeris) rebelled and massacred Armenians. The region actually isolated from Armenia.
● 1920, April 28: Azerbaijan lost its independence and was declared as Soviet Republic. At that time Armenia was still independent and the Soviet Army tried to occupy as much territory as possible, including the Armenian eastern and south-eastern territories.
● 1920, August 10: Treaty of Sèvres (France), according to which the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire and the dismemberment of the empire would follow. Armenia would have 160,000 sq. km area. However, in 1923, according to the Treaty of Lausanne, the Treaty of Sèvres was cancelled and Turkey survived in Ottoman Empire’s large area.
● 1920, November 29: Armenia lost its independence and was declared as Soviet Republic.
● 1921, March 16: according to the agreement signed between Soviet Russia and Kemalist Turkey, Nakhichevan was given to Soviet Azerbaijan.
● 1921, July: Artsakh was forcefully annexed to the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic by the decision of Soviet Russia.
● 1921, October 13: Soviet Armenia, under an agreement with Kemalist Turkey imposed by Soviet Russia, accepted the agreement of March 16.
● 1922, December 30: the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was created.
● 1923: The Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of Nakhichevan and Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region (with the Armenian population of 131.5 thousand people, i.e. 94.5%, in Karabakh) were established within Soviet Azerbaijan. Within 70 years under Azerbaijan’s control, about 40% of the Armenian population of Nakhichevan (about 50,000) living in the city of Nakhichevan and more than 50 villages, were deported from their homeland.
● 1988-1991: the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Liberation actions with the purpose to declare the Republic of Artsakh. In that period Azerbaijan conducted ethnic cleansing with Sumgait pogrom (1988), Gandzak (Ganja) pogrom, Baku pogrom (1990) and deportations.
● 1991, September 2: Artsakh declared its independence from the Soviet Union.
● 1991, September 21: Armenia declared its independence from the Soviet Union.
● 1991, October 18: Azerbaijan declared its independence from the Soviet Union. Azerbaijan left the USSR without Artsakh, declaring itself the legal successor of the first republic of Azerbaijan, which DID NOT include Artsakh.
● 1991, December 26: USSR was dissolved and all territories declared as independent were left according to their declarations to be recognized by the international community, Artsakh among them.
● 1991-1994: the Artsakh War began as a result of Azerbaijan’s aggression towards the Republic of Artsakh. Azerbaijan tried to occupy the territory attributed to Soviet Azerbaijan that had no legal force after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Artsakh defended its territory and on May 12, 1994, a ceasefire was set by the request of Azerbaijan.
● Thus, Azerbaijan has violated and is still violating the right of the Armenians of Artsakh to self-determination, and now it is trying to occupy it by force.

We have learned your "peacefulness and gratitude".
We all know this facts.But unfortunately the world is closing his eyes and ears to this cruel genocide.

Great format, well presented and concise. Hard to fault the journalism and contributors, just the post-Soviet players.
Karabakh is a recognized part of Azerbaijan. Armenia attacked and their actions backfired on them.
Yes. Confirm
Who cares about who started it and who has what claims. Important is that the senseless killing stops and the people who are caught in the middle between two outside powers and their geopolitical allies get saved from their homes being turned into a battlefield of other people fighting eachother
Nick Ensch you are a liar.
@Nick Ensch KARABAKH IS AZERBAİJAN 🇦🇿🇦🇿 🇦🇿!!!
@Nick Ensch Azerbaijan won the war, the Armenians lost.
People who say that this fight is for nothing, they are so stupid, and even they don't know the history. When Armenians lived in Nagorno-Karabakh, there wasn't a country named Azerbaijan. The history of Azerbaijan starts in the year 1918. A simple example. Carpets in Nagorno-Karabakh are older than Azerbaijan itself. Even Coca-Cola is older than Azerbaijan. So, even if you don't know the history, these facts will help you to understand that Nagorno-Karabakh wasn't and isn't a part of Azerbaijan, as long as it is the second Armenian country.
Azerbaijanis are indigenous caucasian people who are assimilated yo persians and turks. When Azerbaijan had empires in caucasus, armenians were living in lebanon. They were brought to caucasus by Nikolai I.
If there is a stupid, it seems it is you. UN recognition the Karabakh is belonging to Azerbaijan. Also Russia is recognitioning that. Turkiye, Azerbaijan and too many countries accept that subject.
Your history is just yours which teached you by occupiers. You made examples carpets, coca-cola. Are you a child ? Read real history of that region from hundreds years ago.
I am sorry about that i used ( stupid )word about you. But you need to be realistic.
And i am worry about who lives in that area. Because war is not a good thing on this planet.
@Mongolian Khan yes you are right my friend, I don't deny that armenians are indigenous caucasians. But the ones living in Nagorno Karabakh was brought by Nikolay. Therefore there are 7 Azerbaijani cities betweek Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia itself.
@Mongolian Khan we - Azerbaijanis are successors of Caucasian Albania. But we have assimilated 2 times.

NKR is not a part of Azerbaijan... 🇦🇲
The current phase of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict began in 1988, when in response to the self-determination claims of NK population the Azeri authorities organized massacres and ethnic cleansing of the Armenian population on the entire territory of Azerbaijan, particularly in Sumgait, Baku and Kirovabad.

@Linds, There really isn't much to know about the conflict.
Armenia in the 1990s brutally invaded Azerbaijans internationally recognized territories and ethnically cleansed 800,000 civilians from said area.
Then a few decades later the Azeris took it back. Thankfully the Azeris didn't try to slaughter the civilians after it's military victory like the Armenians did in the 1990s.
@@Armeniking Can you name one country other than Armenia on this planet who officially agrees with your contention that NKR is not part of Azerbaijan?
Can you also tell me how many UN resolutions were passed condemning Armenia's actions in NKR?
