GS Paper II International Relations

Context: 

  • Azerbaijan launched an operation against Nagorno-Karabakh and demanded surrender.

About Nagorno-Karabakh:

  • Nagorno-Karabakh, known as Artsakh by Armenians, is a mountainous region at the southern end of the Karabakh mountain range, within Azerbaijan. 
  • It is internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan, but its inhabitants are predominantly ethnic Armenians. 
  • They have their own government which is close to Armenia but not officially recognised by Armenia or any other country.

Strategic Significance:

  • Several gas and oil pipelines across the Caucasus (the region between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea) to Turkey and Europe are built by the energy-rich Azerbaijan
  • The energy supplies would get affected in an event of full-blown war between the two countries.
