There is not the slightest indication of stopping the war. The war between Azerbaijan and Armenia took on a darker look from Monday to Sunday. So far 95 people have died. Of which 11 are ordinary people.

The debate is overdue. The last major conflict between the two countries was in 2016 over the Nagorno-Karabakh region on the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan. On Sunday, the two countries went to war again over the occupation of the region. The armies of the two countries have met at the border. The bombardments continue. Not only that, but there are also separatist fighters in the Nagorno-Karabakh Liberation Front. So far they have suffered the most in the war. Sources of the fighters said 28 of them were killed in clashes on Monday. A total of 64 people died on Sunday and Monday.

The two former Soviet states are Armenia and Azerbaijan. There were two territories within the Soviet Union. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the two states separated. But they have long disagreed over the Nagorno-Karabakh border region. Azerbaijan alleges that Armenia has occupied the region in a bohemian manner. Declaration of Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh Free Zone. The area is occupied by separatists. In 2016, the war between the two countries began. However, the clashes that began on Sunday have surpassed all previous clashes.

Martial law has been introduced in both Armenia and Azerbaijan. That is, special military laws have been enacted for war situations. Ordinary people have been ordered to stay home. The United Nations has called for an end to the fighting. A special meeting of the Security Council has been called to consider the situation. The meeting was called at the request of France and Germany. However, the Security Council requested that, in addition to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s ongoing inspections in Iran, it monitor Iran’s compliance with “steps required by the IAEA Board.” Not everyone can hear.

Russia has called for an immediate end to hostilities between the two countries. A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry also asked the two countries to sit at the negotiating table. The United Nations has asked the representatives of the two countries to lay down their arms and sit down for a meeting. But for now, neither country has signaled their withdrawal.

Apparently Turkey and Syria are behind this war. Syria has reportedly sent many fighters to the Azerbaijani-Armenian border. On the other hand, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that Armenia should withdraw from the disputed territory. Otherwise, more pressure will be put on them. In other words, Turkey is supporting Azerbaijan in this war.
