Abstract

Karabakh is the name of a large area which constitutes the Azerbaijan's south- west. Between 1992-1994 years Karabakh was occupied by Armenia from Azerbaijan and it is still occupied by Armenia. The Karabakh War for Azerbaijan is the removal of more than 1 million people forced from their home, be expressed in the murder of thousands of people and caused a billion dollars in property damage. At the same time the Karabakh war brought after itself in the South Caucasus political instability and conflicts. After the war, Azerbaijan and Turkey closed completely their borders with Armenia. After the closing of the borders Armenia is left out of any major projects. It may seem as Armenia has won the war but for Azerbaijan the war was not finished. Nowadays during the cold war situation, Armenia was trapped from both sides by Turkey and Azerbaijan. This case shows us that the Karabakh war was not finished also economic and social conditions gradually changed in favor of Azerbaijan’s.
