On September 2 Nagorno-Karabakh Republic marks its 25th anniversary.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is one of the 'frozen conflicts' in the border zones of the former USSR that could heat up following Kosovo's declaration of independence.
On 20 February 1988, the autonomous region of Nagorno-Karabakh, which belonged to Soviet Azerbaijan but had a majority Armenian population, approved a resolution that would have integrated it into Soviet Armenia. Several months later war broke out between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The conflict lasted until 1994, although no peace agreement has ever been signed.
The Nagorno –Karabagh Republic was founded in 1991 on September 2 on the territory of former Azerbaijan SSR part Nagorno-Karabagh Autonomy and neighboring Shahumyan region.

On may 24 of 1994 in the capital of Kyrgyzstan Bishkek by the mediation of CIS parliamentary counsel Azerbaijan, Armenia and Nagorno-Karabagh signed protocol according to which sides came to agreement about cease-fire which operates to present.
