Azerbaijan's internationally recognized Nagorno-Karabakh territory became a conflict zone following Armenia's aggression in the early 1990s. As a result of Armenia's armed invasion, 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory fell under Armenia's occupation. Baku has been trying to restore righteous control over its breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh, where ethnic Armenian separatists committed bloody atrocities - about 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed in the conflict and over one million of civilians were displaced coercively.
