Abstract
Dubbed the four-day war, the early April clashes
between Azerbaijan and the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh (South
Caucasus) shed renewed light on the long lasting dispute, “frozen” since the
ceasefire of 1994. After having shortly recalled how the current situation
crystallized after the bloody years of war between Azerbaijan, NK, and Armenia,
the present analysis focuses on the regional dimension of the conflict. The NK
conflict is per se an extremely complicated
issue, and it is now exacerbating in the midst of a turbulent conjuncture where
strategic, tactical and situational factors embroil its primary and secondary
actors (Russia, Turkey, and Iran). Squeezed between domestic policies dominated
by hostility and isolation on one side, and raising regional tensions on the
other, the dispute needs an articulated response.
Keywords: Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan,
