After a 24-hour battle, Azerbaijan has reclaimed the area of Nagorno-Karabakh. This was disclosed by the Azeri president on Thursday. He lauded the army’s spirit after the separatist troops submitted

On September 19, Azerbaijan started an offensive against rebels in the Armenian territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. According to Azerbaijan, this conflict wouldn’t stop until the Nagorno-Karabakh insurgents gave up.

Only 32 individuals, according to Armenian officials, were killed in the fight.

The separatists in Karabakh reportedly gave up after receiving no assistance from Armenia, according to the BBC. Officially, the attack resulted in the deaths of 32 persons, including 7 civilians, and 200 injuries.

Over 400 individuals have been hurt in the attack, according to Armenia Separatist human rights officials, and about 200 people have perished. These numbers, however, have not been verified. Before the truce, Azerbaijan claims that its troops had taken control of roughly 90 separatist sites.

The Russian peacekeepers reached an accord.

On September 20, the two sides signed a cease-fire deal through Russian peacekeepers. This agreement was signed on the terms of Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani army has since ceased combat actions against Armenia. The first meeting of both parties on the deal will take place on September 21 in Azerbaijan’s Yevlakh city.

The deal states that Karabakh soldiers will be deactivated and their weapons confiscated. Aside from that, the Armenian army has been ordered to leave the area. The Armenian government, on the other hand, claims that its forces were never deployed in the Karabakh region.

Armenians demonstrate against the Prime Minister.

Following the incident, there was a protest in Armenia’s capital, Yerevan, against Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. People called for Pashinyan’s resignation because he was unable to handle the crisis. The scuffle between security personnel and demonstrators injured more than 30 persons.

Russia and the United States had requested that the military operation be halted.

Russia, which has previously mediated a deal between the two countries, condemned the strike. According to Russia’s Defence Ministry, we encourage both countries to cease the carnage, end the hostility, and save people.

At the same time, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged Azerbaijan to immediately halt its military action, arguing that doing so would only serve to exacerbate the conflict and prevent a peaceful resolution from being reached.

Why are Azerbaijan and Armenia at odds?

Armenia and Azerbaijan have been at odds with one another over the Nagorno-Karabakh territory for more than 20 years. It is not recognised as a sovereign nation by any nation.

Both Eurasian nations have sought to conquer the Nagorno-Karabakh region since 1988.

Despite being a legally recognised part of Azerbaijan, ethnic Armenian communities have been occupying the area since 1994.

On the borders of Iran, Russia, and Turkey, it is a crucial strategic location in the South Caucasus.

Six weeks of the conflict in 2020.

Azerbaijan attacked Armenia in 2020. Azerbaijan achieved a unilateral triumph and seized control of a sizable portion of the contested territory after nearly six weeks of fighting. In this conflict, more than 6,500 people from both countries lost their lives. To achieve a ceasefire, Russia had to go forward.

Russia had reached a settlement.

A peace accord between Armenia and Azerbaijan was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in November 2020. A peace treaty had been signed by both nations. However, Azerbaijan violated the peace accord and launched another attack in September 2022. The subsequent conflict between the two nations resulted in the deaths of over 210 persons.
