The Nagorno-Karabakh region is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but it is predominantly inhabited by ethnic Armenians and has been governed by the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, also known as the Republic of Artsakh by Armenians. Large-scale conflicts broke out between the two countries in the 1990s after the fall of the Soviet Union and tensions have remained high despite a Russian-brokered truce in 2020.
Nagorno-Karabakh has been cut off from vital supplies since December, when Azerbaijan blocked the Lachin corridor, its only road link to Armenia. Azerbaijan claimed to fully control the breakaway region following its brief military offensive this week after separatist Armenian fighters said they would disarm and disband under a cease-fire mediated by Moscow.
