The book has been devoted to the historical background of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and deals
with the causes of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the region’s
belonging to the Azerbaijani states throughout the history.
Azerbaijan's internationally recognized Nagorno-Karabakh territory was turned into a battlefield and zone of aggravated tensions after Armenia sent its troops to occupy Azerbaijan's lands in the early 1990s. As a result, 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory stands under military occupation of Armenia.
For the past two decades, and despite calls from the international community, Armenia has refused to withdraw its troops and retreat within its national borders.
