Meanwhile, diplomatic activities with Shusha continue. Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and French President Emmanuel Makhon on Saturday.

On the border between the two countries there have been massive clashes and bombings since September 26. Although the two countries agreed to a ceasefire with the mediation of Russia, not much has happened. Many lives, including civilians, have been lost in this bloody battle between the two sides.

According to the BBC, the Nagorno-Karabakh region is at the root of the conflict between the two countries. The area is inhabited by ethnic Armenians. At the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the region voted to stay with Armenia. Then a war broke out between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the issue. About 30,000 people lost their lives in that war in 1990. That war ended with a 1994 ceasefire.

Since then, the area has been internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan. But under the control of the Armenian separatists. The Armenian government in your support. Despite decades of negotiations between international powers, the peace agreement remains elusive.
