Several factors have played important roles in reigniting the passions leading to the 44-day war of liberation: 1- The perpetual ineptness and failure of the OSCE-Minsk group to come up with a solution to the conflict; 2- The belligerent rhetoric of the prime minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, claiming Karabakh is part of Armenia; 3- The July 2020 skirmishes that resulted in the killing of an Azerbaijani general, and several military officials; and 4- Pressure from the Azerbaijani public on their government to restore their territorial integrity. If the Armenians can abandon their anti-Turkish, anti-Azerbaijani and anti-Islam rhetoric and behavior now to give peace a chance, a lasting peace can be achieved, addressing the genuine concerns of all parties within the framework of territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
