During the last #KarabakhWar, many experts and journalists shared their views on the history of the conflict. They were able to inform completely ignorant people. But there are some issues that all experts should be able to explain more objectively. ⬇️
Before moving on to these aspects, I could remind that the conflict between Armenians and Azerbaijanis is divided into 4 periods:
1) The period of first revolution in Russia (1905-1906)
2) The period of formation of nation states after Russian Empire (1918-1920) ⬇️
1) The period of first revolution in Russia (1905-1906)
2) The period of formation of nation states after Russian Empire (1918-1920) ⬇️
3) The first years of Sovietisation in the South #Caucasus (1920-1923) and
4) Period of “perestroika” in the USSR, which began with Armenia's land claim to Karabakh (1988). ⬇️

The questions on the topic are as follows:
1) Why did the nations that lived in the same geography for centuries before 1905 get into a conflict?
2) What caused the conflict in 1918 with the creation of nation-states?
3) How did the two nations live in peace in 1923-1988? ⬇️

I have my own answers to these questions. But as an Azerbaijani, I recommend this book by a neutral author. There you can find some academic answers to these questions.
