  After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the two countries broke out in war over the ownership of the Nagorno-Karabakh (Naka) region.

In 1994, the two sides reached an agreement on a comprehensive ceasefire, but the two countries have been in a state of hostility over the Naqqa issue, and armed conflicts have occurred from time to time.

  In September 2020, a new round of conflict broke out between the two countries over the Naqqa issue.

On November 9th of the same year, the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a statement announcing a complete ceasefire in the Naka region from 0:00 Moscow time on the 10th.
