The Caucasus arch-foes, Armenia and Azerbaijan, have been locked in bloody conflict ever since the break up of the Soviet Union more than three decades ago. They have fought two wars, in the 1990s and in 2020, over the mountainous territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, which Baku recaptured in a lightning offensive last September. Peace has remained elusive though and fears of a renewed conflict is always lurking around the corner. After Armenian foreign ministry announced, on the 19th of April, agreements between Yerevan and Baku on border delimitation, residents of several villages in Armenia have been protesting the transfer of four abandoned border villages to Azerbaijan. Mohammed Saleh brings you the details.
