Relations between the two former Soviet republics, Armenia and Azerbaijan, have been tense since 1991 when the Armenian military occupied Nagorno-Karabakh, also known as Upper Karabakh, a territory internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, and seven adjacent regions.
Last year, the conflict escalated again and lasted six weeks, ending up with a Russian-brokered truce on Nov. 10.
During that time, Azerbaijan liberated several strategic cities and nearly 300 of its settlements and villages from nearly three-decade Armenian occupation.
