Karabakh (Armenian: Ղարաբաղ Gharabagh or Արցախ, Artsakh; Azerbaijani: Qarabağ) is a geographic region in present-day eastern Armenia and southwestern Azerbaijan, extending from the highlands of the Lesser Caucasus down to the lowlands between the rivers Kura and Aras. It includes three regions: Highland Karabakh (historical Artsakh, present-day Nagorno-Karabakh), Lowland Karabakh (the southern Kura-steppes), and a part of Syunik.
The name "Karabakh" or "Gharabagh" is generally believed to originate from Turkic and Persian, literally meaning "black garden". An alternative theory, proposed by Bagrat Ulubabyan, is that it has a Turkic-Armenian origin, meaning "Greater Baghk", a reference to Ktish-Baghk (later: Dizak), one of the principalities of Artsakh during the eleventh to thirteenth centuries.
The placename is first mentioned in the Georgian Chronicles (Kartlis Tskhovreba), as well in Persian sources from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The name became common after the 1230s, when the region was conquered by the Mongols. The first time the name was mentioned in medieval Armenian sources was in the fifteenth century, in Tovma Metsop'etsi's History of Tamerlane and His Successors.
Following 22 years of relative cease-fire between the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and Azerbaijan, large-scale military operations initiated by official Baku resumed. Why did the Azerbaijani army failed in this long-planned blitzkrieg and what is the link between it and ISIS? What other evil plans did the authorities of Azerbaijan attempt to realize in the course of the 4-day April war? What counter strike was the aggression of the enemy met with and what is the cause of the Karabakh conflict? How does Artsakh withstand the threats by the neighbor and live now? The «Failed Blitzkrieg » documentary tries to answer the questions through facts only offering a vivid picture of the reality.
Last April, fighting between troops from the self-proclaimed republic of Nagorno-Karabakh and the Azerbaijan army "rekindled a conflict that had been frozen for more than 20 years":http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/war/nagorno-karabakh.htm. On the Armenian side of the front line, the soldiers Euronews saw were barely 20 years old. But some had already experienced war. "We're defending our homeland, our family, and all those who live on this land," said one, Aram Yegoryan.

Some have called it the 'frozen conflict'. A long-standing dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the region of Nagorno-Karabakh. But fighting that began on Saturday is threatening to destablise the region. At least 30 soldiers from both sides have been killed. It is the worst violence since a 1994 truce ended a war in which Armenian-backed forces seized the territory from Azerbaijan. The region of Nagorno-Karabakh is predominantly ethnic Armenian, and placed under Azerbaijan control in 1922 by then Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin. The Armenian population of this mountainous, landlocked enclave began a push for unification with Armenia. And as the Soviet Union broke up, a full scale war began in 1991. The Armenians took control of Nagorno-Karabak in 1994 - after the deaths of arou...
Reports suggest that fighting is continuing near the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. The territory, which sits within the legally-recognised borders of Azerbaijan, is controlled by forces backed by neighbouring Armenia. Armenia says it is not directly involved in a conflict, but that is rejected by Azerbaijan. The past month has seen the worst violence there since the mid-1990s. The BBC’s Tom Burridge travelled to the region of Agdam in western Azerbaijan.

Last month, in April 2016, a four-day-long skirmish erupted, which cost the lives of at least 200 soldiers. In a previous CaspianReport, we explained the geopolitical and military status quo. We also recounted how the conflict is a potential hot spot that could involve regional players such as Russia and Turkey. Given the geopolitical significance of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the lack of proper materials on the subject, in this report, we will go over the origins of the conflict.

Once when I was a girl
I could've given you a ride for your money
Oh but how times have changed
Although you do look cute in those red cowboy boots
No you don't mess around
But you're just a kid
You don't know what it takes
No one can stop you now
Anymore than they can tell the wind not to blow
Who's going to run to you now?
With the riders in the dirt back on Aztalan turf
I can't tell you what to do
You're free as a bird
Go do what you've got to do
Don't you worry boy
Life will come and find you
You're going to blow their minds
Show them all a thing or two
Don't you worry boy
Life will come and find you
You're going to blow their minds
Show them all a thing or two
All the good in this life wish for yourself
All the good in this life wish for yourself
All the good in this life wish for yourself
