8Armenia – Azerbaijan Border

The border between Armenia and Azerbaijan is dangerous because of a long political and military conflict. The two countries have fought over territory for decades, especially around Nagorno-Karabakh.

Even when the full war stops, the border can remain tense. Soldiers watch each other from mountain positions, and small clashes can happen. Some areas also contain landmines and unexploded weapons. The landscape is beautiful, with mountains and valleys, but the political situation makes parts of this border very risky.
