The two former Soviet republics have been in conflict over its enclave for decades Nagorno Karabakh, historically inhabited by Armenians but was part of Azerbaijan during the Soviet era. After the dissolution of the USSR, they were involved in two wars, in the years 1990 (more than 30,000 dead) and 2020 (6,500 dead).
