Today’s episode is about the war and conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan, both of the former Soviet republics in the Caucasus region. The episode is important because it will unveil the hidden strategic interests amid the large geopolitical issues of the major powers of the region. It was the end of September when the clash once again begins between the two former soviet union countries- Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region. Let me tell you that this Nagorno-Karabakh region is a part of Azerbaijan, but ethnically, its population is majorly Armenian. Armenia is majority Christian while Azerbaijan is majority Muslim. The conflict sparked when the people of the Nagorno-Karabakh region voted to become a part of Armenia controlled by separatist Armenians backed by the Armenian Government. The bloody war resulted in the killing of thousands of people, extensively damaging and displacing many others.
