Abstract
The decades-long conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh took a radical turn in 2023 when Azerbaijan’s military operations finally ended the region’s de facto independence. These events significantly altered the relationship between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as the regional geopolitical landscape. This study examines the historical context of the conflict, the political evelopments following the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the exodus of Karabakh Armenians. Particular emphasis is placed on the minority issue: the loss of rights by the Karabakh Armenian community and the resulting dilemma of reconciling the principle of territorial integrity with the minorities’ demand for self-determination. The analysis reveals that, despite the slow normalisation of relations between the two states following the conflict’s resolution, the situation of minority communities remains a source of ongoing tension, which may continue to affect stability in the South Caucasus in the long term.
