Nagorno-Karabakh
area
, which belongs to Azerbaijan but has been controlled by Armenia for decades.

War in Nagorno-Karabakh: Both states report new battles
Armenia said
troops
from Azerbaijan had advanced to Nagorno-Karabakh on Saturday, October 3rd, both from the north and from the south.
Azerbaijan again reported that Armenia had shelled several places on its territory.
From the point of view of Azerbaijan, the Nagorno-Karabakh region is illegally occupied by Armenia.
Accordingly, head of state
Ilham Aliyev
justified
the advance of his army against Emanuel Macron.
The French President tried to find a peaceful solution in a telephone conversation.
He
could not achieve
a
truce
.
Like Russia and the US, France has been a long-time mediator in the conflict.
Turkey and Russia are indirectly involved in the Nagorno-Karabakh war
The international significance of the war is also due to the different protective powers of the participating states.
Thus, the true
Turkey
as an ally of Azerbaijan, while
Russia
is on the side of Armenia.
With the current escalation of the Nagorno-Karabakh war, concerns are growing about the role Turkey might play.
Armenia has accused Turkey of
relocating
thousands of
mercenaries
from the war zones in Syria and Libya to the
South Caucasus
.
Russia had also spoken of plausible evidence of this.
After a week
, the
warring parties
seem
to be a long way from
a peaceful agreement
even without outside interference.
Azerbaijan's President Aliyev rejected further negotiations with Armenia: “We do not have time to wait another 30 years.
The conflict has to be resolved now. ”Both parties initially continue to seek the solution by force of arms.
