Since then, however, the countries have fought several times for territory: not only for the borders between them, but also for the status of the Nagorno-Karabakh region, which is located in Azerbaijan but is claimed by both countries. The struggle for that region claimed the lives of around 6,500 people in 2020, then ended after Russian mediation.
