Authors’ note: Many of the details included in this case study are drawn from interviews with Azerbaijani soldiers conducted during a research trip to the site of the battle in March 2025. Also of note, while many towns and villages in the Karabakh region have both Armenian and Azerbaijani names, the authors have chosen to use the Azerbaijani names since the international community recognizes the region as being part of Azerbaijan. As a final note, Azerbaijanis refer to the region as Karabakh, but we chose to use the name “Nagorno-Karabakh” for this article given that is the name more widely used by Western media and think tanks. The word “Nagorno” means mountainous in Russian and was added to “Karabakh” during the Soviet era.
