After the breakdown of the Former Soviet, Azerbaijan became an independent country, and naturally, this piece of land also belonged to Azerbaijan.
This point was also recognized by other countries internationally, and even Russia had had no conflict with Azerbaijan over this piece of land.
One would think that the ownership of such a clearly defined piece of land should not be controversial.
But the problem lies in the fact that over eighty percent of the inhabitants of the Nagorno-Karabakh region are of Armenian ethnicity...
Therefore, since the Former Soviet Era, local authorities had submitted several applications, requesting to incorporate the Nagorno-Karabakh region into Armenia, as naturally, there is a closer kinship among people of the same ethnicity.
But these requests were all rejected by the Former Soviet.
