Azerbaijan emphasizes what they are doing to crush the rebellion. Until now, despite claiming independence, the international community has not recognized Nagorno-Karabakh as a state and it remains part of Azerbaijan.
The death toll has risen to 95, including 11 civilian deaths. Where nine in Azerbaijan and two on the Armenian side.
Azerbaijan has not released information on military casualties since the last clash broke out. The war in this region worries several parties because it is located in an area with a global oil and gas pipeline.
Meanwhile, the struggle between Muslim Azerbaijan and predominantly Christian Armenia could involve regional players, Russia and Turkey. Russia has a military alliance with Armenia and sells billions of dollars in advanced weapons, while Turkey has strongly supported Azerbaijan in this conflict.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan commented yesterday and blamed Armenia for the war. He said that Armenia must leave its existence in the region for peace to occur.
“As soon as Armenia immediately leaves the territory it occupies, it will return to peace and harmony,” he said. AFP.
In 1991 a military conflict broke out. However, the Minsk Group, which consists of several countries, such as France, Russia and the United States (USA), was reconciled.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said it was concerned about the humanitarian impact of the escalation of the conflict. The group calls on the parties to take all necessary measures to ensure that the lives and infrastructure of civilians are respected and protected.
