suffered casualties in fighting of the border. the neighboring countries went to war in the 1990s, and in 2020, over the disputed region of nicola caraballo. i will talk to an expert about the latest developments in a minute. but before we do, let's have a quick look back at the context of the fighting. the heavy military presence in a group occur buck is part of everyday life in the enclave. in recent years, the dispute at region has seen fighting flare on a regular basis. located into south caucasus, now we're in a car because internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan, but it's controlled by ethnic armenian forces, backed by armenia. the conflict dates back to the dissolution of the soviet union ever since armenia and also by john have claimed the gore in a car buck as their own territory, a so called frozen conflict dot remains unresolved for decades later, the conflict has international ramifications. turkey has expressed its support of

azerbaijan, while russia has provided armenia with military equipment. joshua cocora is a journalist who specializes in the region. he edits the caucasus coverage at the news website, eurasia. net and he joins us now from was a welcome to the w. we've just had a look back at the historical skirmishes in the nagondo caraballo region. can you tell us what makes this round of fighting different? sure. what is the significance of this rounds? is that it's the, the targets as by chance targets this time are in armenia proper. previously, the fighting has been concentrated, mostly in and around the corner car box, which is internationally recognized as azerbaijan, a territory. these attacks are along armenian communities along the the border inside armenia, which would represent a significant escalation in puzzle by johns targeting. we're hearing the armenians

found a number of weld leaders asking for help this morning. is anyone responding? well, the key of the actor here is russia prime minister nichol passion. yon spoke with russian president vladimir putin this morning, asked for russia to enter in based on the, the mutual defense pact that the 2 countries have. this has never been exercised in the past because like i said, although the fighting has gone on on as were by johnny territory now that it spread apparently to armenian territory. this is going to be a big question if the fighting continues or russia, according to that treaty, would be obligated to come to armine as defense. of course, russia in the last few days has been suffering its own military defeats and ukraine . and i think that that probably explains why this offensive was launched now. but anyway, that's going to be the key. the key question is, how rush

a response so far? they've acknowledged armine as request for assistance, but have not indicated how they're going to respond. you mentioned ukraine does, does all this mean that we could see a 2nd fully fledged war in the post soviet world? i was at this point, it's really hard to say. i mean, most of the times that algebra john has escalated things. it has to do with pressuring armenia to continue to carry out the terms of the 2020 us use fire agreement or to work towards a, a comprehensive piece agreement. so kind of military pressured it to get diplomatic results. i mean, this is a big military escalation, or whether it's to continue to get more diplomatic results, or whether or they have some bigger intentions. it's too early to say so far. something will be watching closely. journalist joshua kara, thank you so much. okay, let's take
