For almost four decades, Armenia and Azerbaijan have elevated With each other, primarily via nagorno-Karabah, the mountain region that both countries claim. According to Reuters, the territory is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but the inhabitants in Nagorno-Karabaku were predominantly ethnic Armenians. Both countries fought around this region since the late 1980s, and thousands of Armen and Azerbaijan were killed during the current conflict.

During this period, the Russian Federation and Turkey offered to help peace negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, at that time 2020. years. At that time, Azerbaijan launched a military operation against Armenia, where Azerbaijani forces took part of Nagorno-Karabakh. After the fight, Armenia and Azerbaijani signed a truce, which Russia and Turkey mediated.

The former US Secretary of State Antoni Blinken met with Armenian and Azerbaijan officials to establish a frame for a permanent peace agreement.
