Azerbaijan-Armenian Conflict

Post by Yuli Ban »

Azerbaijan intercepts Armenian drone at border
Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry Monday said an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) belonging to the Armenian armed forces was intercepted at the border.

The drone called Griphon-12 was downed by Azerbaijani forces in the western Kalbajar region of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, the ministry said in a statement.

Relations between the two former Soviet republics have been tense since 1991, when the Armenian military occupied Nagorno-Karabakh, also known as Upper Karabakh, a territory internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, and seven adjacent regions.

The conflict between the two flared up last year and six weeks of fighting ended with a Russian-brokered truce on Nov. 10.

It's back on!

As of 17:00, the situation in the eastern border zone of the Republic of Armenia continues to be extremely tense after the Azerbaijani armed forces undertook a large-scale attack, the Ministry of Defense reports.

The intensity of the battles has not decreased. The enemy continues to use artillery, armored vehicles and firearms of different calibers.

As a result of the retaliatory actions of the Armenian side, the enemy has suffered huge losses in personnel, about a dozen units of armored vehicles have been destroyed or damaged.

Casualties on the Armenian side are also reported, details are being verified.

A number of Armenian soldiers have been killed and captured in a flare-up of violence on the border with Azerbaijan, Armenian officials say.

Armenia said some of its troops had been killed and two combat positions had been lost, while Azerbaijan said two of its soldiers were injured.

Later on Tuesday, both sides reportedly agreed to a Russian-brokered ceasefire.

More than 6,000 lives were lost in last year's war over the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Azerbaijani forces, backed by Turkey, managed to recapture large swathes of the region of what is internationally regarded as part of Azerbaijan.

On Tuesday, Armenia asked Russia, a key security ally with long-standing ties to the former Soviet republic, to help defend its territorial sovereignty against Azerbaijan.

Armenia has announced a Russian-mediated cease-fire with Azerbaijan after asking for Moscow's assistance amid deadly hostilities that erupted earlier in the day along their shared border.

"Under the mediation of the Russian side, an agreement was reached to cease-fire at Armenia's eastern border from 1830 (1430 GMT/UTC). The situation has relatively stabilized," the Armenian Defense Ministry announced on November 16, adding that at least one Armenian soldier died in the clashes. Earlier reports had put the number of the Armenian deaths at 15.

The renewed deadly clashes along the border started about a year after a cease-fire stopped an intense war over the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

As the war in Ukraine captures the world’s attention, tensions have spiked yet again in Nagorno-Karabakh, with some local residents fearing that an attack by Azerbaijan is imminent.

Over the past week, both Armenia and Azerbaijan have accused each other of violating the ceasefire between the two countries, though few of these violations could be independently confirmed.

Some of the violence that could be confirmed included the shelling of Armenian-inhabited villages in Nagorno-Karabakh — which lead to one civilian being wounded, as well as an exchange of fire on the border between Armenia and Nakhchivan in which one Armenian soldier was killed.

Looks like Russia's weakness in Ukraine and removal of troops from Nagorno-Karabakh is going to reignite the conflict here as Azerbaijan looks to complete it's conquest in its entirety.

Top UN Court Tells Azerbaijan to Allow Armenians Back to Nagorno-Karabakh
by Molly Quell
November 17, 2023

Introduction:
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (Courthouse News) — The International Court of Justice on Friday ordered Azerbaijan to allow Armenians to safely return to the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

In a case stemming from a bloody 2020 war over the South Caucasus enclave, the top U.N. court partially granted provisional measures requested by Armenia to allow some of the 100,000 people displaced to return.

Armenia told the Hague-based court during hearings in October that ethnic cleansing was underway in Nagorno-Karabakh and, without intervention from judges against Azerbaijan, tens of thousands of people would be forced out. According to Human Rights Watch, since the latest escalation, more than 100,000 people have now fled — nearly the entire population.

Nagorno-Karabakh, a 1,700-square-mile area that technically falls within the borders of Azerbaijan but is overwhelmingly ethnically Armenian, has been a source of friction since the fall of the Soviet Union.

The 15-judge panel found there was a serious risk of harm to the ethnic Armenian population. “Individuals forced to leave their own place of residence without the possibility of return could be subject to a serious risk of irreparable prejudice,” the court's president, Joan E. Donoghue, said in reading out the decision.
