ARMED CONFLICTS ON THE TERRITORY OF NAGORNO-KARABAKH. INTERNATIONAL LEGAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

The main parties to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are Armenia and Azerbaijan, which have been independent since 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Once an internal problem of the Soviet Union, the crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh (also known as Upper Karabakh and/or Mountainous Karabakh) began three years before Armenia and Azerbaijan gained independence, and has remained unresolved for more than thirty years. The purpose of the article is to conduct an international legal analysis of the armed conflict on the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. The methodological basis of the study was based on the comparative legal method.
