evidence: Another Azerbaijani exclave, Karki, is further to the south, near Nakhchivan. And there is one Armenian exclave, Artsvashen, inside Azerbaijan; in the 1990s its Armenian residents faced a similar fate to those on the other side of the border. [...] There have been rumors ever since the end of the 2020 war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, that the villages would return to Azerbaijani control. Soon after the end of the war, the following day Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Azerbaijan’s closest ally Turkey, referred to "the return of the Gazakh villages" in a speech to parliament. In June last year, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s comment at a Q&A session gave the impression that his government was willing to give up Karki. [...] Another issue at the heart of the border talks is the presence of Azerbaijani troops deep inside what’s generally regarded as Armenian territory. Azerbaijan made several incursions into Armenia since the 2020 war and currently holds an estimated 215 square kilometers of its land.
