Armenian leaders remain preoccupied by the long conflict with Muslim Azerbaija over Nagorno-Karabakh, a mostly Armenian-populated area, assigned to Soviet Azerbaijan in the 1920s by Moscow. Armenia & Azerbaijan started contesting the area in 1988; the battle intensified after both nations obtained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
Armenia prides itself on being the first country to officially adopt Christianity (early 4th century). Regardless of periods of autonomy, over the centuries Armenia came under the sway of various empires including the Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Persian, & Ottoman. It was integrated into Russia in 1828 & the USSR in 1920.
By May 1994, when a cease-fire took hold, Armenian forces held not just Nagorno-Karabakh but also a substantial portion of Azerbaijan correct. The economies of both sides have been hurt by their inability to make considerable progress toward a tranquil resolution. Turkey imposed a financial blockade on Armenia & closed the common border since of the Armenian profession of Nagorno-Karabakh & surrounding areas.
