Russia has been one of the prime factors why the situation between Armenia and Azerbaijan has been controlled in the last two years but as its focus has now shifted to Ukraine and its activities, tensions have once again been brewing between the two countries.
Post the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a lot of things changed as far as the regional dynamics are concerned.
After a 44-day war over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, the two nations had finally found a common ground but with deflected attention, they might once again be engaged in certain tactics.
The incident that had happened two years ago led to the killing of thousands of people but it was under control when Russian President Vladimir Putin brokered a ceasefire deal. Under this deal, Russia had promised close to 2,000 troops to monitor the truce in Nagorno-Karabakh.
The issue was that the territory has been forcefully occupied by Armenia even though it is internationally recognized to be part of Azerbaijan. The situation may be close to getting spoiled as the defense ministry in Moscow has already accused Azerbaijan of violation of the truce accord.
Initially, the Azerbaijan official denied any such reports but when Moscow said that the troops had been pulling back from the negotiation, there were no statements from their side. Azerbaijan had said that there were no changes in their positions.
It also added that Moscow in fact disrespected the integrity of Azerbaijan towards the agreements.
