You know Yugoslavia ? Well, the Caucasus is just the same thing, except it's 3 countries and a lot of minorities within them. What happened was that there were some ethnic tensions under the USSR between the Armenians and Azeris, so the central government took ownership of the disputed lands. We know what happened next, and as the USSR collapsed, all the dormant tensions flared back up. The Nagorno Karabakh region has a majority of Armenians, and is yet claimed by Azerbaijan. The first war established de-facto Armenian control over the region, but the Azeris came back with Turkish support a few years later, and invaded the region. Now most of it stands occupied by the Azeris, a lot of Armenians fled, thousands of Armenians were massacred with drones and artillery, and nothing was solved in the end, because you can be almost sure the Armenians will try to fight back one day. Oh and of course we let Turkey and their allies do their warcrimes in peace, because NATO never really stood for anything but US hegemony.
It is over though, so you're a bit late.
