epa10856741 Chairman of the Center of Analysis of International Relations Farid Shafiyev shows the Nagorno-Karabakh region on a map of Azerbaijan during his meeting with journalists in Baku, Azerbaijan, 05 September 2023. The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict escalated in 1992 between two former Soviet Republics on the territory of Azerbaijan in the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh / Nagorno-Karabakh Republic with its capital in the city of Stepanakert (Armenian name) or Xankendi (Azerbaijani name) where predominantly Armenians live. The conflict resulted in thousands of deaths, refugees on both sides and a frozen conflict for many years. In 2020, during another escalation and hostilities, Azerbaijan took control of large areas of Nagorno-Karabakh. After this a ceasefire agreement was concluded and Russian peacekeepers were introduced into the conflict zone. Currently, there is an escalation on the line of contact, shelling of positions, and a build-up of military potential on both sides. Azerbaijan and Armenia accuse each other of violating the agreement. EPA/MAXIM SHIPENKOV ATTENTION: This Image is part of a PHOTO SET
