“ feeling marginalized and discriminated against, had long been fighting to protect their civil rights.”
Further, looking at Demographics under https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagorno-Karabakh
It seems “Armenian minority” may have been meant in the context of all of Azerbaijan, not of that particular region, where it seems Armenians were a majority.
Also, I mentioned "neutral perspective" but you are trying to disprove it using a biased website. If you want to see the bias, do what I did: Edit that page and include a made-up accusation(s) for both sides of the conflict at different times. Your accusation for the Armenian side will be removed within minutes if not seconds. On the contrary, your accusation for the Azerbaijani side will stay there for months. This clearly shows, the very same people who are in charge of that page (any other highly politicized page) has significant bias.
Now I feel guilty further politicizing HN, but I just cannot help it after being exposed to political content in not-seemingly political posts.
I feel you did politicize this when editing your quote from the article, which prompted my response.
I am well aware Wikipedia is open to moderation abuse, but I stand by my use of it as a reference for the demographical distribution of population in that area.
For what it’s worth, I think this conflict is yet another leftover from the collapse of the Soviet empire and I suspect things may have turned out better for both sides if that enclave has been split into its own republic once the USSR no longer existed.
I do not come to HN for politics and try to refrain from going into it, but does the author really not see how this sounds from a neutral perspective:
"an Armenian minority living in the mountainous Nagorno-Karabakh region ... demands for secession from Azerbaijan"
