Azerbaijan people demand war against Armenia

A huge demonstration has been organised in the capital of Azerbaijan by people, shortly after a violent border clash emerged between the country and its unfriendly neighbour, Armenia.

Tens of thousands of people have participated in the demonstration organised at the capital demanding war.

As many as sixteen people has lost their lives in the clash happened in the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

Azerbaijan and Armenia were the members of erstwhile Soviet Union. Post the disintegration of the union, it emerged as two independent countries.

There is an unresolved border issue between these countries. Nagorno-Karabakh is the disputed territory.    

The UN recognizes Azerbaijan’s claim for the territory. But, the region is at present controlled by ethnic Armenians.

The protest demanding war has turned violent. The protesters have even entered the Azerbaijan parliament.

The authority has used force to disperse the protesters.

The latest development may push the country to a serious political crisis.  

The protest, which has been organised at the time the world was struggling due to a serious disease outbreak, has left the country in dismay.
