===Nagorno-Karabakh/Azerbaijan===
{{see also|Nagorno-Karabakh conflict}}
The frozen conflict over currently largely Armenian-populated region of Nagorno-Karabakh within the [[Republic of Azerbaijan]] began when in 1988 the Armenian majority of Nagorno-Karabakh demanded autonomy with demonstrations and persecutions against ethnic Azeris following in Armenia. This led to [[Sumgait pogrom|anti-Armenian rioting]] in Azerbaijan, with Azerbaijani militias beginning their effort to expel Armenians from the enclave. In 1992, a war broke out and [[pogrom]]s of Armenians and Azeris forced both groups to flee their homes. In 1994, a Russian-brokered ceasefire ended the war but more than 1 million ethnic Armenians and Azeris are still not able to return. In 2023, an [[2023 Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh|Azerbaijani offensive into Nagorno-Karabakh]] ended the conflict, with the self-proclaimed [[Republic of Artsakh]] conceding sovereignty to the government of Azerbaijan on January 1, 2024.
