A side-by-side comparison of the defense budgets and military capabilities of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region in the South Caucasus is at the center of a decades-long armed confrontation between neighboring Armenia and Azerbaijan, which has reignited in recent days.
The predominantly forested and mountainous region is recognized by international law as part of Azerbaijan. However, the ethnic Armenians who make up the majority of the population in Nagorno-Karabakh, reject the Azerbaijani government. It separated from Azerbaijan in a war in the 1990s, but no country recognizes the region as an independent republic.
Heavy fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh has sparked fears that the dispute could escalate into all-out war again, as the United Nations called for an immediate ceasefire. See what the armies of Armenia and Azerbaijan have at their disposal and how much money these two countries are investing in their defense sectors.
