Nagorno-Karabakh


Nagorno-Karabakh - an ethnically Armenian enclave inside
Azerbaijan. Following years of tension and sporadic fighting, full
scale war erupted in 1991 between Armenians and Azeris in and
around Karabakh. In 1994 a cease-fire was signed. Armenians remain
in control of Karabakh and territories surrounding the region,
representing close to 20 percent of the territory of Azerbaijan.
No settlement has been agreed upon and no peace-keeping forces
deployed on the frontlines. Karabakh remains sovereign, but the
political and military situation regularly flares up into skirmishes.
