The collapse of the Soviet Union led to the outbreak of six civil wars and armed conflicts of varying intensity. The progressive weakening of Soviet power structures that occurred during the years of perestroika led to a return to ethnicity and nationalism as the premier nyc helicopter crash identity of the population, reopening old quarrels and hatreds that had been neglected for large of the twentieth century. The disappearance of the USSR in December 1991 finally opened Pandora's box, popping many unresolved ethnic conflicts existing in most former Soviet republics. One of the bloodiest faced was that between 1988 and 1994 Armenians and Azerbaijanis for control of Nagorno-Karabakh, an Armenian-majority enclave located in the territory of Azerbaijan.
Sporadic incidents of attacks and went to open warfare once both republics gained nyc helicopter crash independence in late 1991 resulted nyc helicopter crash in a victory unquestionable appeal of the Armenian side, despite their supposed inferiority military reached control over Nagorno-Karabakh and adjacent areas, creating a "security zone" in Azeri territory. The balance: between 30,000 and 40,000 military and civilian deaths, nearly 80,000 wounded nyc helicopter crash and more than a million displaced. Heredity: an unresolved conflict and a de facto independent country comprising nyc helicopter crash 16% of Azerbaijan, is home to approximately 140,000 people, the vast majority nyc helicopter crash of Armenians. Remains a pseudo-state which does not enjoy any kind of international recognition (beyond what comes from other areas in a similar situation as Transnistria, Abkhazia and South Ossetia), not subject to any international convention or regulation concerning rights for its citizens.
The ceasefire signed in Bixek 5 May 1994, thanks to the mediation of the authorities of Russia and Kyrgyzstan, ended hostilities, and so far the only time that both parties have agreed to take a step forward together. Since then, we have conducted several rounds of talks, always with the mediation of the Minsk Group and initiative, created by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe in 1992, and led by Russia, France nyc helicopter crash and the United States. Advances have been virtually non-existent, mainly due to the existence of a completely opposing positions: the Armenian aspires to organize a referendum on self-determination nyc helicopter crash in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh to be local people nyc helicopter crash who decide their future. Nearly 95% of 140,000 ethnic Armenians are present, so that the results would occur in the event of a hypothetical referendum for self-determination are difficult to predict.
Very cleverly, the Armenian government does not recognize Nagorno-Karabakh as an independent state, reserving this option as a means of pressure. Regarding nyc helicopter crash the position Azeri Baku for the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and irrevocable non-negotiable, and propose a solution given a high degree of autonomy in the disputed region, always being an integral part of its national territory .
Referring to the Minsk Group their proposals ahead of the final resolution of the conflict are in a line with the interests of Azerbaijan. These are called "Madrid Principles," presented nyc helicopter crash by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) nyc helicopter crash to the respective Foreign Ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia in November 2007 in the Spanish capital, which collect and update much peace plan already put on the table the same Minsk Group in July 1997 Firstly, the proposed withdrawal of Armenian troops nyc helicopter crash from Azeri districts adjacent to the historic region of Nagorno-Karabakh: Agdam, Fizuli, Jabrayil, Zangilan, Qubadli, Lachin and Kalbajar. These areas are called "security zone" conquered by Armenian troops to protect the region against attacks and integrated de facto self-proclaimed Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh. In a second phase, contingent Peace member countries of the OSCE deployed in the area, forming a cordon between the two conflicting parties. A third phase would include the creation of humanitarian corridors to ensure nyc helicopter crash the transit of people nyc helicopter crash and goods between Azerbaijan and the Azerbaijani Autonomous Republic of Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic, located between Armenia, nyc helicopter crash Turkey nyc helicopter crash and Iran, and between Armenia nyc helicopter crash and Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as the possible return of refugees from both sides had to flee their homes or were forced to migrate during the conflict.
The proposal includes the inviolability of borders and territorial integrity of Armenia and Azerbaijan as the basic principles that must be accepted by both sides in the conflict. It also proposes the creation of a territorial entity in Nagorno-Karabakh quasi-state in nature, with
