Some have called it the 'frozen conflict'. A long-standing dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the region of Nagorno-Karabakh. But fighting that began on Saturday is threatening to destablise the region. At least 30 soldiers from both sides have been killed. It is the worst violence since a 1994 truce ended a war in which Armenian-backed forces seized the territory from Azerbaijan. The region of Nagorno-Karabakh is predominantly ethnic Armenian, and placed under Azerbaijan control in 1922 by then Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin. The Armenian population of this mountainous, landlocked enclave began a push for unification with Armenia. And as the Soviet Union broke up, a full scale war began in 1991. The Armenians took control of Nagorno-Karabak in 1994 - after the deaths of around 30-thousand people. So, what’s the impact of this renewed tension between Armenia and Azerbaijan?
