Nagorno-Karabakh region in the Caucasus mountains in Azerbaijan, a former republic of Soviet Union that got independence in 1989, has been seeking freedom for quite some time now, supported by neighboring Armenia, another former Soviet republic, while Azerbaijan prevents the regain to become independent. Nagorno-Karabakh has already declared free form Azerbaijan. The region's ethnic Armenian separatists run their own affairs, with support from Armenia. The region has declared its independence from Azerbaijan, but this has not been recognized by any state.

Azerbaijan says Armenia has illegally occupied Nagorno-Karabakh, and a number of Azeri districts surrounding the region. Baku, which announced a 53 percent rise in military spending this month, says it is committed to stalled peace talks but has refused to rule out using force to restore its control.

Armenia's new president Serzh Sarksyan said on April 29 that Azerbaijan must accept that its breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh region is an independent republic that will never be returned to Azeri control, Nagorno-Karabakh, broke away from Azerbaijan as the Soviet Union fell apart, sparking a war which killed about 35,000 people. A ceasefire was agreed in 1994 but the search for a lasting peace is stalled. "Azerbaijan must understand the simple reality that the existence of the republic of Nagorno-Karabakh's independence is irreversible," said Sarksyan, who was sworn in this month.

Azerbaijan and Armenia are still officially at war and their troops frequently fight skirmishes along a heavily mined front line. Up to 16 soldiers were killed in a clash earlier last month. Russia, the United States and France are mediators in the conflict. It is quite like that Ban Ki Moon the Secretary General would convene a special session of UN exclusively debate on this crucial issue and devise strategy to obtain independence and re-independence for the struggle nations without letting more blood flow.
