6. Armenia-Azerbaijan (Nagorno-Karabakh)
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is a protracted territorial dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but predominantly populated by ethnic Armenians. In November 2020, a ceasefire agreement was brokered by Russia, leading to the withdrawal of Armenian forces from several territories and the deployment of Russian peacekeepers. However, this agreement did not constitute a comprehensive peace treaty, and hostilities have continued intermittently. Both nations consider the conflict active, contributing to ongoing instability in the South Caucasus (theguardian.com).
