The ongoing clashes began on Sept. 27, when the Armenian forces targeted civilian Azerbaijani settlements and military positions in the region, leading to casualties.<\/p>\n
Relations between the two former Soviet republics have been tense since 1991, when the Armenian military occupied Upper Karabakh, an internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n
Multiple UN resolutions, as well as many international organizations, demand the withdrawal of the invading forces.<\/p>\n
The OSCE Minsk Group was formed in 1992 to find a peaceful solution to the conflict, but to no avail. A cease-fire, however, was agreed upon in 1994.<\/p>\n
Many world powers, including Russia, France, and the US, have urged an immediate cease-fire. Turkey, meanwhile, has supported Baku’s right to self-defense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
