Abstract :

The problem of Nagorno-Karabakh between Azerbaijan and Armenia traced back to almost two hundred years ago arises from ethnic and territorial reasons. Through capturing Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia currently occupies 20 percent of Azerbaijani territories without representing any legal bases. In the present day, the problem still awaits for the solution via international organizations. This study aims to investigate the Nagorno-Karabakh question in a historical approach. For that reason, first, geographic and economic resources of Nagorno-Karabakh are presented to understand the importance of the region for two conflicting countries. At that point, the origins of the problem are explored through comparing the two countries ‘attitudes and other actors’ roles. Second, steps taken by all the sides will be discussed. Additionally, this study elaborates the current situation in Nagorno-Karabakh and how two sides are affected from the conflict. Moreover, through this study it is aimed to found out how this hundreds of years old conflict has influenced these two countries from the physical and inner aspects.
