Isn't hatred on social media a harbinger of a new conflict?

The Karabakh conflict, for understandable reasons, caused intense animosity between the two peoples. At the time of the collapse of the Russian Empire, almost all of Transcaucasia, particularly the Irevan, Baku, and Elizavetpol governorates — that is, the territories on which the independent and subsequently Soviet Armenia and Azerbaijan were later formed — represented an arena of settlement of, in addition to smaller peoples, two main ethnic groups: Azerbaijanis and Armenians.

In very few areas was the population ethnically homogeneous. The vast majority of this notional territory was ethnically mixed, with settlements arranged in an interleaving pattern.

This is discussed in the latest episode of the Caliber.Az YouTube channel.

"Under these conditions, drawing a dividing line based on the ethnic map that already existed at the time — that is, setting aside the historical narratives of each side — was an extremely difficult task. There was no border that would have left both sides fully satisfied. Under any version of the dividing line, one side, or even both, would have been left dissatisfied," the project's authors continue.
