Armenia–Azerbaijan relations
- Armenia–Azerbaijan relations
The neighboring nations of Armenia and Azerbaijan have had formal governmental relations since 1918. Although the two nations have fought two wars in 1918 and in 1988, in the past century, their relations have evolved in the context of the conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
Context
The relations between the contemporary states of Armenia and Azerbaijan have started in the context of territorial conflict between the two nations.
Relations between the ADR and the DRA (1918 - 1921)
Upon the disintegration of the Transcaucasian Federation with the proclamation of the independent Democratic Republic of Georgia on May 26, 1918, both Azerbaijan and Armenia proclaimed their independent states on the same day, May 28, 1918.
Soviet Period (1922 - 1991)
1991 - present
After the war, the relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan remained tense. In 2008, Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev declared that "“Nagorno Karabakh will never be independent; the position is backed by international mediators as well; Armenia has to accept the reality”" and that "“in 1918, Yerevan was granted to the Armenians. It was a great mistake. The khanate of Iravan was the Azeri territory, the Armenians were guests here”".
