Karabakh conflict broke out in 1988 when Nagorno Karabakh, mainly populated by Armenians, declared its independence from Azerbaijan.

Afterwards, large-scale military operations began. As a result, Azerbaijan lost control over Nagorno-Karabakh and the seven regions adjacent to it.
Some 30,000 people were killed in this war and about one million people fled their homes.
