THE ROLE AND EFFECTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE 2020 NAGORNO KARABAKH WAR

The Nagorno-Karabakh concern was fueled in the 19th century and turned into a war as a territorial struggle between the Azerbaijani and Armenian States in the 20th century. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, with Armenia's occupation of the Nagorno-Karabakh Region, there has been a war that has been going on in Azerbaijan territory for years. Especially between 1905 and 1907, it was seen that Armenia had bloody clashes in different regions and thousands of civilians were killed in many villages of Azerbaijan. Villages were burned and people were slaughtered during the raids of Armenian gangs on Azerbaijani villages in the 1920s. Although the Nagorno-Karabakh problem, which was carried to an international dimension, reached a short-term solution from time to time with the mediation of many states, it could not prevent the continuation of the Nagorno-Karabakh War for years. The raid on Armenia's Khojaly village in 1992 is known as the most disastrous massacre of the Nagorno Karabakh War. In the first part, the past dimensions of the Nagorno-Karabakh War are discussed.
