dbpprop:abstract
  • The Battle of Kelbajar was the capture of the western region of Kelbajar, Azerbaijan during the 1993 spring-summer campaign by Armenian military forces in the Nagorno-Karabakh War. Kelbajar was outside the boundaries of the contested enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh that Armenian and Azeri forces had been fighting over for five years. Bordering Armenia proper, the predominantly Armenian populated region of Nagorno-Karabakh had announced their declaration of independence from Azerbaijan in 1991 and fighting had taken place mostly in the enclave itself. Seeking to keep the territory under its rule, the Armenians of Karabakh were aided by Armenia itself in the form of logistics, supplies, volunteers and military weaponry. Kelbajar, only several kilometers from Armenia's border, was comprised of several dozen villages including its eponymous provincial capital. Kelbajar is a raion that is surrounded by several canyons and an elevated mountain range known as the Mrav Mountains. In the attack, Armenian forces from four different directions, including Armenia proper, assaulted and captured a space of over 1,900 kilometers. This linked it with region of Nagorno-Karabakh and opened a second "corridor" for Armenia to send aid through. Most of Kelbajar's civilian population had been transported out of the town prior to the battle. Kelbajar is currently under the control of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
  • La Batalla de Kelbajar fue la captura de la región occidental de Kelbajar, Azerbaiyán durante la primavera-verano 1993 de la campaña militar de las fuerzas armadas en la guerra de Nagorno-Karabaj. Kelbajar estaba fuera de los límites del enclave de Nagorno-Karabaj por el que Armenia y fuerzas azeríes habían estado luchando durante más de cinco años. Bordeando la Armenia propiamente dicha, la región de población mayoritariamente armenia de Nagorno-Karabaj había anunciado su declaración de independencia de Azerbaiyán en 1991 y los combates han tenido lugar principalmente en el propio enclave. Tratando de mantener el territorio bajo su soberanía, los armenios de Karabaj se ayudan de la propia Armenia, en forma de logística, suministros, voluntarios y armamento militar. Kelbajar, a sólo varios kilómetros de la frontera de Armenia, se compone de varias decenas de aldeas incluida su homónima capital provincial.
