The Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan, through Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, agreed on Saturday a humanitarian ceasefire in Moscow, which was repeatedly violated by the parties.
Membership of Nagorno-Karabakh, which was inhabited mainly by Armenians, has been the subject of open debate between Baku and Yerevan since February 1988, even before the collapse of the Soviet Union. With the support of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenia, it was separated from Azerbaijan in the 1992-1994 war, 30,000 people were killed in the fighting and hundreds of thousands were forced to flee.
The provincial parliament declared the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh in 1996, but this has not been recognized by any country, not even Armenia. Both Azerbaijan and Armenia consider the Nagorno-Karabakh enclave to be their own territory. The ceasefire that has been in force since 1994 is regularly violated by both sides. The fight resumed on September 27.
